    why is the bbc turning every factual documentary into an episode of eastenders, overblown dramas personal issues, were here to learn about the subject not watch some presenters having crisises

    " oh no the computers aren't working will this ruin the whole experiment "

    no, we know the experiment worked fine its well documented that it worked fine

    on last nights black hole at one point the editor just gave up, there was a 20 second slot along the lines of " oh no the reflector telescope isn't working what can we do, oh lets fix it, oh its fixed, we can get on with the experiment "

    seemed they just lost the will to overdramatise

    cunts

  • Agreed, apparently they think - or it's actually the case - that if something isn't phrased in the terms of a drama, it won't be interesting.

    I'm vaguely interested in F1 mostly from the technical perspective, so I watched this video yesterday, about the 'ground effect era'
    - BBC Horizons 1981.

    So relaxing to watch. Super informative, they even spend some time to explain what a turbo does, a narrator with a pleasant voice (plus of course the oldschool accent, but it's up to you whether you like that I suppose) who is engaging, but does not try to overdramatise anything. The camera work is simple, but effective, and they're not scared to linger on something or somebody for a few seconds. Because it's not bloody Die Hard, it's a documentary.
