Ratings Madness

This kind of story really annoys me. The BBC put on something slightly more challenging than the heap of manure that is Footballers’ Wives, and they get attacked from all sides. Why should a drama that’s slightly more demanding be moved to BBC2. I really dislike this “move a show after two episodes” nonsense that’s taken over UK television.
If we’re only to have drama series at the level of US network television, then that’s the way to go. If we want something better then we have to take chances in primetime with more demanding fare.
