okay... it looks like BBC3 is going to be axed in the shake up... and BBC4 will survive but the skin of its teeth..
without BBC3 there wouldn't have been shows like "little britain"... "gavin and stacey" and "torchwwood" which all debut there...
and a FAB favourite "snog, marry, avoid".. 
so.. anyone watch it... any programs they will miss...
i actually like "bad education" with jack whitehall.. and "being human".. but other than that.. its where they show family guy and american dad! |

Was the celebrity hair salon thing on there? Where they were taught to cut hair for charity? I loved that series.
Other than that I can't think of anything I've watched on BBC3. |

"It won't make sense to have 1, 2 and 4.
Being Human was my only really BBC3 programme. It's not really aimed at my demographic though. My nephew will miss it.
"
I quote my friend who works for the Beeb when asked the very question on faceache
"Think BBC4 will become BBC Arts or something crap like that" |

I was told much the same, and that some of the programming from 3 might end up on 2.
also that contingency plans are being drawn up in case they lose Scotlands £240m annual contribution to the beeb. |

"Which BBC were the RI Christmas lectures on? "
Looking at the interweb, it looks like 2013 series were on BBC4, so should be safe.
In any event, there is probably little enough quality content on 3 and 4 to fit into one channel in my view. |

"I liked Dirk Gently that was on there and I think Vexed first aired on there also which was OK.
So will Four turn into Three? Or will Four be BBC 2.5?
*such confuse, very dismay*"
Yes, Dirk Gently holistic P I was brilliant - what happened to that? |

After writing that post I thought the same thing so I had a poke about on the internets. Firstly I was wrong and it was actually on BBC4 (then repeated on BBC2) but the sad news is it got cancelled, despite a petition to keep it going. To make cuts BBC4 stopped producing their own dramas full stop. 
It was a good show yo! |

"I watch BBC 3 quite a bit.
Does this mean that my license fee will go down because they're withdrawing their second best channel?"
"The licence fee settlement agreed between the BBC and the UK government in autumn 2010 is the toughest in the BBC’s history, freezing the licence fee for six years"
In real terms it is going down by approx 3.5% per annum for 6 years.
The savings proposed by terminating transmission of BBC3 will only be achieved by selling off its freeview bandwidth, a move that is likely to continue, in conjunction with its more popular output being moved to subscription ie CBeeBies.
If some over payed and now probably generously pensioned off tosser had not wasted £98 million on a project called DMI then BBC3 would have lived on.
Also buried in the current goverments settlement of licence fee was an
"additional £345m of funding obligations which the BBC has agreed to take over from the government by 2014-15 (including paying for the World and BBC Monitoring, and additional funding for broadband roll-out to local areas and local TV and online content) Adding in these additional obligations means an effective cut of almost 25 percent in funding available for existing BBC activities"
One wonders whether these plans were cooked up when Dave and Rebbekah were round at Ruperts one night.
When all you have is expensive Sky or Virgin and a pathetic PBS channel or two perhaps people will realise how they were robbed while they were sleeping |

Im glad the bbc are in finacial trouble. They have robbed us blind for years witha compulsory licence fee. I dont pay one any more and dont watch any live tv.
There is a massive uprising now against the bbc licence however they do not publish the figures of non licence payers. Last year alone over 200,000 people stopped paying due to not watching live tv. If you record it on your planner or use the iplayer and watch it 1 second later its no longer live therefore you dont need a licence to watch it |

And if the BBC goes who makes the programmes to record or watch off Iplayer?
Oh and Iplayer is a concept designed and promoted by BBC Research which was funded by the licence fee. |

my point is in todays world the technology exists to scramble the channels you dont want. Why are the bbc allowed to force a licence on people when people should be given the opportunity to pay for what they want or what they watch.
If im honest I may watch one show a week on the bbc last thing I watched was luther and that was months ago. I never listen to bbc radio channels. So why shoul I pay a licence fee.
the bbc are going to have to scrap it sooner or later. As al there myths have been debunked. There are no such thing as licence detector vans.
And if you refuse their people entry if they ever come to your house then they have no right of access. You can tell them verbally you are removing their right to implied access and if they return they are actually trespassing. |

"Here's a way the. BBC could save money, stop giving Jack Shitall shows, might not be the biggest money saver but I'd be happy."
And that god awful waste of license fee Sarah " I've got a vagina and I eat chocolate" Millican. As funny as a burning orphan.  |

The Mighty Boosh and Little Britain were both developed on Radio 4 before they came to TV. |

They're reportedly considering changing the rules so you need a licence for I-player, and why not? After all, why should you get programmes free that other people have paid for?
And while many might question the use of the courts against non-payers, it was the Government and not the BBC that made sure when the seriously hard up as apposed to those making a point, end up before the bench, even if a non financial penalty is imposed, they still have to pay the "Victim Surcharge" which goes into Whitehall's (not of the Jack variety) pockets. |

"Scrap all the welsh language stuff, and mix bbc3 and 4's programmes onto 1 channel. we might get to watch something worthwhile on the bbc before 7.30."
And BBC Alba, the Gaelic channel. Absolute pish. |

Largely funded by the Assembly - so see how much more of your money gets pished against the wall if he gets his way come September. |

In an attempt to prove how 'up to date' it is, Alba will soon start broadcasting excerpts from 1960s/ 1970s Nationwide. |

There's not many like Cathy 'Giggles' MacDonald but you can see her in the flesh, so to speak, in and around the Teuchter Triangle. |

They will just drop the poorer titles and mix the programing keeping the best and dropping the dross. |
