It's not just American networks that can strangle a beloved franchise, the BBC have done it before and they will do it again with Doctor Who.
Michael Grade was proud of doing that the last time around if memory serves...

The Police were upset with the 'pigs' reference but sadly the writers made the classic mistake of not making the sitcom funny.
Should have gone all out on the anti-Police rhetoric instead of being twee I guess...

The Claudia Winkleman chat show was a chaotic good surprise. Particularly enjoyed her saying “people who like horoscopes are a bit thick” 😂

Her sexy horse noise impression was unexpected too.

I never watched any of the classic 60s Brit TV series of The Avengers (I was note familiar with the 70s New Avengers) until circa early 2000s and by then it was owned by Studio Canal which initially puzzled me but the French loved the original series apparently.

I have the whole of BBC #iPlayer available. But what to watch?! 🤷‍♂️

Any suggestions?

BTW I watched three episodes of #W1A which is set in the real BBC of 2016 and I've never seen such an awful working environment in my life. If I arrived there for an interview I'd leave immediately they showed me around.

Whoever designed and signed off on that have no idea about the needs of different humans. They should not be in charge of anything until they do.
