The BBC has a huge archive of shows and sports coverage that it should be making available for watching and download.

For example...

Every cricket season the BBC covered on television - test series, domestic matches and other matches - I'd subscribe and pay for downloads.

Same with the James Burke specials and Tomorrow's World.

Had a rough day at work? Don't bother looking on YouTube for a crappy VHS recording of Graham Gooch's 333 v India, log on to the BBC website and enjoy every ball.

Feeling down about AI Slop getting everywhere? Log on to the BBC website and enjoy a time where Raymond Baxter, William Woollard, Michael Rodd, Judith Hann and Maggie Philbin made us excited about science and the future.

This is stuff that may not have massive Doctor Who style commercial DVD release potential but would get traffic and money coming in.

I love the BBC county cricket commentaries. Local commentators who know their county clubs, know their areas, know the game and deliver true Reithian broadcasting that coverage of The Hundred could never attain.

There are savings to be made but there is material that can be reintroduced and exploited (in the business jargon).

I wonder what we will end up seeing from this exercise?
