they have no competition whatsoever
it's fucking unreal

They have a big money
Standards are already dropping, see forced emotions using music. That never happened in old attenborough bbc stuff, but since oceans its been dramatised to hell. When Sir David dies i guess all bets are off and qc will go out the window
Umm, no.
In the case of the big ones, they're flagpole events that the corporation bases its reputation on. The organisation has a culture or group-think that derives its meaning from the quality of these shows.
The skill at making these itself only grows from the unprofitable, hardly watched BBC4 documentaries that they chuck out week in week out. The team is practised in making quality shows (that nobody watches) so when the big ones come up, they have the skills to make them good.
Seriously you should randomly watch BBC4 any random night of the week; there will be some autistic bint rattling on about trends in women's fashion 1649-1750 for a fuckin hour. Then the channel links come on and advertise "great railway journeys of Wales"
The big competitors (National Geographic and Discovery) fill their schedules with cheap, populist crap which lots of people watch.
My opinion anyway
Publically scamming the UK taxpayer into funding shows they dont give a flying fuck about.
Can't wait until the BBC is fucking dead I literally only ever use it to watch Doctor Who and I would be glad to exclusively pay for that show by demand instead of funding all of the BBC's awful tripe.
don't have to appeal to the market lowest common denominator etc etc and are well funded (for now...)
not to say they don't have plenty of stuff that does, but compare the output to itv or some commercial american networks (not hbo tbf) that through competition end up producing trash
no one else is going to have a channel like bbc4, or radio station like radio 3
lmao
Pretty accurate, BBC actually cares about reality and reporting it (which is exactly what a documentary is) and with the big productions the difference in quality is huge
>mad at the government for providing good programming
For what purpose? Do you get paid to take corporate cock up your ass?
>there are "people" on this board RIGHT NOW that prefer ITV to BBC
...
>"Publically" scamming the UK taxpayer into funding shows I "dont" give a flying fuck about.
grr!
British vs. American documentaries:

There will always be working class trash in the world, user.
God I wish we had this here in the US.
>Not wanting to at least choose the cock that fucks you
Commie alert
don't worry user towie will always be there for you.
I think what you're presenting is sort of what
was talking about. Making television is generally a lot like shitposting, it's all about those (You)s, so things become as gaudy and egregious as possible.
Haven't you got pseudo-dramas to produce BBC Defence Squad? Get back to work.
>coming in early January, The Forgotton
>This danish import adapted for British viewers follows an autistic female detective as she investigates a chilling case of child abuse at a government run group home on a misty island off Scotland's coast.
poor old user got bit in the arse. bet you were seriously expecting a big surge of "facken bbc we hate 'em dahnt we lads" too
>autistic female detective
How quaint.
dat's da joke
>some autistic bint rattling on about trends in women's fashion 1649-1750 for a fuckin hour
I loved that show. With that lithpy luthy worthley, wathn't it?
>Can't wait until the BBC is fucking dead
People have been saying this since the early 90's.
They're bleeding money out the ass everywhere these days and they still don't look like they're going anywhere for a while.
I prefer ITV documentaries like "The Boy With An Arse For A Face" and "The Man With Nineteen Cocks" myself.
They have a lot of money but a whole country to cater for. Nature docs are free from controversy, eg political or social, and the big budget ones sell well abroad so it's all a safe bet to spend the money on.
watch TLC
>did a show on the wegency
>did a show on the womantic period
>did a show about woyal illnesses
>did a show about woy strong
>did a show about the weal versailles
>this january made a show about womanov wussia
it's like the bbc4 controller knows what we want to hear, and that's lithsps
She's my historyfu
Eleganth and Decadenth: The Age of the Wegenthy!
I think Suzannah Lipscomb must be mine because I've sat through some dreadful shite just because she was in it.
The bait would be a lot more subtle if you said something other than Dr Who.
>Publically scamming the UK taxpayer into funding shows they dont give a flying fuck about.
Sounds familiar.
t. Canadian
still got a lot of (You)s
>I literally only ever use it to watch Doctor Who
Almost had me.
> tfw being sincere
99% of BBC documentaries are awful.
Louis Theroux and David Attenborough are the BBC's saviours and both of them will be dead within a decade.
>don't have to appeal to the market lowest common denominator etc
They literally DO have to do that.
Hithtory ith funnn with her :3
>99% of BBC documentaries are awful.
lie
You might as well say Eastenders, they're about on par
I want her to put me over her knee and spank my bare bottom. Then I want to mommy Lucy to make me clean her after she makes her toilet
It is the literal truth.
I am British am have experienced them.
