Service with a smile, thank you Dave. We're not all retired with time to trawl through the BBC web site you know! Fluffy and superficial it might be, but the show is aimed at Joe Public and as such I thought it was a fair enough piece, pitched at about the right level and didn't dismiss film as a bygone. It might also have reminded people about printing their photos, and sparked interest in the younger generation who've grown up without those yellow wallets of prints.

Listening to Radio 5 the other morning they asked for altenative names for computers. They thought "twitter machine" was very good. I emailed them "Automaton Control Unit, just like the one you are sitting in front of". They didn't mention it
I also find the BBC to be extremely condescending. Most of their radio programs are pure trivia or deliberately aimed to wind up the public for the sake of taking polls based on the response. Social engineering at its worst. I got rid of my TV ten years ago. I'll look at things occasionally on IPlayer if its something that really interests me but most of it is dross. |

It's all very well for 'Joe Public', but Joe Public will always be Joe Public unless they transmit material with more detailed information. When people leave education and stop reading their only source of information/education is the TV. TVs are evolving into computers with internet access so perhaps there is a brighter horizon.
The amount of dross that is over the air waves is unbelievable. Even though I've subscribed to Virgin Media so I can view channels like Discovery, History, etc., but mostly its still light weight, more like looking through a basic encyclopedia for snippets of information, there never seems enough 'meat on the bone'. Thank goodness we still have books

We're almost exclusively BBC4 and BBC2 these days!
And Trevor . . . was that using the two words 'reading' and 'education' in the same sentence? Precious little of it these days As I keep saying to my son 'Become a literate and articulate person, because in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king!' Phil |

In the beginning was the word-but people gave up on redding, cos den dey ad to fink. The problem with telly is simply this-it's entertainment, even the shows that pretend otherwise. No longer education, as it puts people in a horrible (new?) situation of having to consider the pros and cons of a particular argument. That's not as entertaining as watching an argument....
