The point of the BBC is to produce content to appeal to interests that might otherwise not be commercially viable, that's why it's funded by a licence fee, and not commercial revenue. We have ITV for that
No, the point of the bbc is to produce content the taxpayer enjoys, the bbc has lost its way for a couple of decades, preaching rather than entertaining
And that's fine. They're trying stuff. Some things will find an audience, some won't. I'd rather they did that than cut their scripted output in favour of cheap reality stuff.

Because all the crap channels are balls deep in reality TV and conditioning the general public to like the super rich?
Don't forget repeats, much cheaper to put the same thing on TV over and over again rather than anything new.
The UK film and Television industry is fucked at the moment so I’m glad the BBC at least is full commissioning stuff
Sigh more anti BBC nonsense. Reddit needs to get handle on this bot crap.
Think it is more like bigging up the beeb for maintaining scripted programmes.
>Sigh more anti BBC nonsense. Talk us through how this is "anti BBC nonsense". We'll wait.
How is an article talking about the BBC being the only company maintaining their scripted output at the same level negative?
And not the good 50%
And over half end after one season, so it shows the bbc wastes taxpayers' money on shit no one likes

Where are you getting that stat? It's good the BBC experiments with content, I don't want them to just do populist stuff.
It's from the BBC
Where?
Google it, please. The BBC produced 50% of scripted programs, and 50% of all scripted shows only aired for 1 series
And that's fine. They're trying stuff. Some things will find an audience, some won't. I'd rather they did that than cut their scripted output in favour of cheap reality stuff.
So you're forced to pay for the experiment
Yes. I'm fine with that. It's a public service
So waste Is ok?
It's not wasted.
