I genuinely think the BBC is still one of the most important institutions in the UK, especially compared to the absolute state of modern media online, but at the same time I completely understand why people get annoyed with it sometimes. Feels like every few weeks there’s another controversy, political argument or debate about bias. Weirdly though, the fact both sides constantly accuse it of being biased almost makes it feel more balanced to me.
Genuinely brilliant documentary drops on a Tuesday at 11pm with no promotion. Middling panel show gets a prime time slot and three series. The content quality and the decisions around that content feel like they are made by completely different organisations. What is the best thing the BBC has made recently that you only found because you went looking for it?
Is anyone else frustrated by how the BBC drops an entire brilliant drama boxset on iPlayer on a Monday, completely killing the watercooler buzz of watching it week by week? Traditional linear TV scheduling used to create national cultural moments. Now, if you don't binge watch a new series within 48 hours of it dropping online, the entire internet spoils the ending for you. They're trying so hard to compete with Netflix's drop model that they're losing the very thing that made British event television special.
Every day more biased undermining “news”..aka gossip and tittle tattle .. about “broken Britain” and the Labour Government …. GIVE IT A BLOODY REST
Doc Martin, Repair Shop, IT Crowd, Black Mirror, Doctor Who… and so much more…Thank God for streaming that lets us get it. We don’t deserve it but I’m glad we are able to access it.
Has Micah Richards been on the marching powder? Every time he's not talking his jaws swinging and he can't sit still.
Before every programme and even during the Cup Final. Telling us to make sure we have one. Do they honestly think that those without will suddenly have an attack of conscience and turn the telly off?
Any ideas how I can watch BBC1 and listen to Sarah Cox - without a 20 second difference in transmission?
This has got to be one of the best shows I have watched and I absolutely loved the storyline
I really hope this doesn't happen. The BBC should just become a subscription service at this point rather than a penalising tax on everyone
So not only did I learn he’s a really good painter, he’s also a Disney Princess. The man has range 😭
I’ve noticed the BBC experimenting with AI-generated narration in some of their shorter video clips and social media explainers. It sounds hollow, the pacing is bizarrely robotic, and it completely strips away the warmth and nuance of a real journalist. The BBC’s greatest asset has always been its human talent. If they’re looking to cut costs, why start with the very thing that makes their storytelling unique?
I’m a student from Northern Ireland and I’m aiming for the BBC Level 6 Software Engineering Degree Apprenticeship in Salford once I finish school.
I'd appreciate any advice from people who've completed or are completing the apprenticeship. How do I make myself stand out? How likely am I to stay after the apprenticeship (I want to). I’m also planning to set up a small tech support business during my gap year (helping individuals and small businesses with IT issues, networking, cloud setup, etc.) to build real‑world experience before applying.
