    Given the quality of the opposition over Christmas it wasn't the greatest of challenges to win.
    but win, they clearly did

    I can't dispute that, but being the 'least bad' isn't a great accolade.  What was new and original on any of the channels?  Much was just a rehash of the normal programmes with 'Christmas Special' added to the name.  Toy Story 4 is the only thing I'm aware of and we were out when that came on!
  • I watched a bit of Toy Story 4.  The pace was so frenetic, I volunteered to be on washing up duty to relax in the calm of the kitchen. 😁

    Why not turn your ire to ITV, channel 4 and 5

    I did say "What was new and original on any of the channels".  Does that not imply at least that I considered ITV, C4 and C5 to be worse?

    but you still constantly moan about BBC ,and not them

    I constantly moan about the BBC??  Even if that was true, I rarely watch the other channels so have little reason to comment on their content.  About the only programme I have commented on regularly is Strictly.

    The BBC is so much more than the television programmes. Bitesize is an amazing resource for teachers and people like me who like to know a little about a lot of things  I trust the verify thing on the news website but I think Channel 4 news is more independent and that's a great shame. There was really good adult literacy content when I was in the trade. I assume it's still available. I can't comment on the radio content as I have hearing problems .
    In London. Keen but lazy.
