Save BBC3

Tony Hall thinks it's the "least worst way to save money". I can think of a hundred better ways to save money and that doesn't include murdering Graham Norton.

this is retarded for two reasons
a) the 1% of decent BBC Three programming can be moved to another channel
b) they're not axing it anyway, they're moving it to IP only
c) they could save a fck load more money by getting rid of the masses of middle management / execs / consultants that doss around on the auntie gravy train

So...this is basically Radio 6 all over again. Can you at least make a case, Jaw? Your top 3 reasons for saving BBC3. You'll still be able to watch Sun, Sex and Suspicious parents on iPlayer.

Can't we just start blending politicians and using them for fertilizer? That's save shitloads.

Save BBC3

nah

What baffles me is that BBC3 costs almost twice as much as BBC4 to produce.

As long as they promise to never repeat Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.

That was truly dire.

I love SSP, best programme ever.

Jokes aside, the comedy that has been produced for BBC3 has been, in general, very successful for the BBC and some of the imported stuff (Flight of the Conchords etc.) is great as well, yes there's a lot of bile but there's also plenty of good stuff.

Period dramas can go and >>>>>>>>> as far as I'm concerned.

So not quiche

As long as they promise to repeat Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.

That was truly wonderful.

ftfy

Family Guy would soon appear on some other channel.

BBC3 introduced 'Gavin & Stacey', 'Lee Nelson's whatever'.
I can't think of anything I would miss.

Axe the fucker

Fuck BBC 3. I'm sure Family Guy will end up on BBC2.

BBC3 is shit, apart from Family Guy, which is obvs good enough to be moved to BBC2 or BBC4. The rest of it can be napalmed from the schedule without remorse.

Its all ‘The boy with an arse for a face’ and ‘Stacy Dooley meets exploited children in….’

I happen to have the answer, merge both of the above programmes into one thereby halving costs and producing the much more entertaining ‘The boy with an arse for a face puts his finger up Stacey Dooley’s arse’. In fact mega mashups seems the obvious way to go. Looking at tonight schedule I can see ‘Wipeout the bride’, ‘Festivals, sex, and Jamaie private school girl’ and ‘Bad Family Dad’. Problem solved.

Wait, people actually like Graham Norton?

I thought they just employed him to make Jonathan Ross look less irritating.

Fuck Family Guy. It is just relentlessly offensive, stupid, puerile shit.

And I am not against that per se. I read the Foffa thread start to finish.

sees self out

BBC3 introduced 'Gavin & Stacey', 'Lee Nelson's whatever.

If that's the case, Hall should be burned at the stake if he doesn't axe it.

snog marry avoid is worth the license fee alone.

Family Guy. It is just relentlessly offensive, stupid, puerile shit.

Which explains why it's awesomely funny.

As long as family guy goes to bbc 2 I don't really care.

They could save money by axing BBC Alba - which was surely the answer to a question nobody was asking.
Is there ever anything on BBC3?
or BBC4?

So much talking of axe that I'm wondering if it's still used by the boy scouts when doing some amazing homework.
Not that has nothing to do with the BBC but maybe could be an idea for a new program which could save the sort of some good boy from the danger of the streets, taking them back to home, sit them in front of a telly while the mommy could prepare some tea with yummy biscuits.

Maybe they could spend some money getting iplayer to work properly, it is utter shit.
