0:00:10 > 0:00:13Good afternoon, and welcome to Points Of View.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Eastenders have been at it again.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19With edgy storylines comes offence, and the latest plot concerns
0:00:19 > 0:00:21a baby being taken into care,
0:00:21 > 0:00:24which has left social workers fuming.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Don't touch my baby! No, Lexi. SHE SOBS AND SCREAMS
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Give her back her baby!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32No! Give me back my baby!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Please! No, Lexi!
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Please don't do this to me. Please don't do this to me!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29So, the writers needed to put pen to paper,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31and give us their explanation.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Next, strictly come judging.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Becoming a new judge on the BBC's most-loved show is never easy,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and the new Strictly judge, Darcey Bussell,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20seems to be winding some viewers up.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22But it is NOT her criticisms,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24because they're apparently a breath of fresh air.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27It's actually her unusual form of punctuation.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Feel the music. Make it help you, yah,
0:02:50 > 0:02:51cos that's your strength, yeah? Yeah?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54It's the feeling of pulling your shoulder blades down, yeah?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Don't get stiff on us, yah?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Use your whole body, breathe all the way through the moves.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And then you'll be fine, yah?
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Yeah? Yes. Yeah?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Strengthen that core, yes?- Yes.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Because then you'll get a much cleaner hip - pow, pow, pow! Yeah?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Now, whilst we're in the mood for a spot of physical exercise,
0:03:10 > 0:03:11what do we think of Hunted?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15There is certainly an excess of running about in that,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and it's been seen as a replacement for the well-loved Spooks,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20which ended last October.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24So, has it managed to out-espionage its predecessor,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27or is that a mission impossible?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29You're late.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Eddie had trouble sleeping.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32What does Turner think happened?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Hasan got loose.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37The guard killed him before succumbing to his own injuries.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39That'll work.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41This has something to do with those steps you fell down?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Didn't you serve together in Afghanistan?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48They killed her to get to you, didn't they?
0:03:48 > 0:03:49To flush you out?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04That sounds like a no, then.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Let's have a bit of music, shall we, to cheer ourselves up?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Various BBC channels have been
0:04:08 > 0:04:10airing tributes to The Beatles this week,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14on the 50th anniversary of the release of their first single.
0:04:14 > 0:04:1762, damn, a monumentous year in Liverpool,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19elevated and changed so many people's lives.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Getting off the plane,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25in New York, to a screaming mob,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27that we didn't expect.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30We're in the world of Sgt Pepper,
0:04:30 > 0:04:31and kaftans and incense,
0:04:31 > 0:04:32and San Francisco,
0:04:32 > 0:04:33and all that kind of thing.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36The older people who were expecting
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Morecambe and Wise,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39or a British variety show,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42wouldn't get it, and, I think, in a way, quite rightly,
0:04:42 > 0:04:43would be annoyed.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22The call to love me do, falling on deaf ears for some, then.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25But, BBC Two is hoping we can be encouraged to take a national pride
0:05:25 > 0:05:29in other home-grown, or should that be home-built, achievements.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33They put Evan Davis into a hole in the ground - now, now -
0:05:33 > 0:05:37to look at the ambitious project to bore out a new rail network,
0:05:37 > 0:05:40deep under London, in the programme Built In Britain.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43And the reception was very good.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And here's my thought. Should we be doing
0:05:46 > 0:05:47a lot more of this kind of work?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Now, I know I'm biased, because I like it,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53but isn't there a case for investing
0:05:53 > 0:05:56two or three times as much in infrastructure,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58simply to get Britain ready for the future?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Something to cheer up Evan Davis, then. Praise for his programme.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Sadly, the little girl you're about to see has been upset
0:06:35 > 0:06:40by her favourite channel, because it failed to show her birthday card.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42# Happy birthday
0:06:42 > 0:06:43# Everyone have fun
0:06:43 > 0:06:47# So how old are you today?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54On my birthday, I was be three.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57My mummy sent a card.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It didn't get on the telly.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02My mum spent ages to making it.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It was a really good card.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Why wasn't it on?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I'm a little bit sad.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16Welcome to birthday time on Thursday. The first card is for Grace...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18We split our cards into two age ranges
0:07:18 > 0:07:22and try and get a balance between boys and girls.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25We try to be as fair as possible in our selection of cards,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28but unfortunately, some have to be filtered out
0:07:28 > 0:07:30because they do not meet our criteria.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Please don't stick onto the cards any commercial logos
0:07:33 > 0:07:35or non-CBeebies characters.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Don't put on the card the child's full name...
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Send the card in at least four weeks before the big day...
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Make sure the photo is appropriate to be shown on TV -
0:07:50 > 0:07:53seeing their smiling face is the best.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54And most importantly,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58write down the date on the back of the birthday card -
0:07:58 > 0:08:01this is crucial information and a lot of people forget.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04We're sorry, Naz Angel, that we didn't get to show your card
0:08:04 > 0:08:06this year and we hope you had a lovely day anyway.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I would encourage anyone wishing to send a card into us
0:08:09 > 0:08:13at CBeebies to check out all the guidelines on our website.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16We show at least 60% of the cards sent into us
0:08:16 > 0:08:18at CBeebies, so do keep them coming,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22because we do love celebrating our audience's special day.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25So, you saw the executive there, and before him,
0:08:25 > 0:08:30young Naz Angel, who is a CBeebies viewer and a total star.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Now, at eight, Carly Johnson is a bit older
0:08:32 > 0:08:34and whilst it's not categorised
0:08:34 > 0:08:37specifically as a children's programme,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41she has been enjoying the Planet Earth Live spin-off series,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43currently airing in the very family-friendly slot
0:08:43 > 0:08:47of Sunday afternoons. Or she WAS enjoying it, until this.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52We have two massive males in this pack,
0:08:52 > 0:08:56who are very, very specialised in killing young baby elephant.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00We have seen their tracks around this area.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Save The Elephants have been working here for nearly 20 years.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09David knows the park well.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14He heads straight for the area where Emily and her calf were last seen.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24There's no sign of calf, just a pride of very full lions.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Let's stop that right there, but Carly can take up the story.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37I was watching Planet Earth Live with my mum and...
0:09:37 > 0:09:39There was this...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41These really cute elephants on it,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43and then this one elephant
0:09:43 > 0:09:45went missing and it showed a picture
0:09:45 > 0:09:47of a lion, then it showed a picture
0:09:47 > 0:09:49of a lion's hoof.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I mean, an elephant's hoof,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53hanging out of the ground
0:09:53 > 0:09:54and all bones
0:09:54 > 0:09:57and it really made me feel upset.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Every programme maker at the BBC has to fill in an editorial
0:10:00 > 0:10:04compliance form on which they have to list anything that may cause
0:10:04 > 0:10:08problems for viewers, from bad language to strong political views,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11every possible area of sensitivity is listed
0:10:11 > 0:10:16and number 17 on that list is disturbing images.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18The team did note the elephant sequence here,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22but they also pointed out that there is not blood or gore.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26A decision is then taken on whether the section should be edited out
0:10:26 > 0:10:28or if a warning should be given before the programme,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30but neither was done.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Carly, you are proof that perhaps it should have been.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36No such problems with holiday programmes.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39But hang on a minute, "What holiday programmes?", I hear you ask.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03An excellent idea,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06you'd have thought somebody would have pounced on that.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Well, I think we are always keen to cover holidays as a subject area,
0:11:10 > 0:11:15because we appreciate that it's often the high point of a person's year.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Watchdog routinely will cover holiday items and we did have
0:11:18 > 0:11:22a programme called the Secret Tourist a couple of years ago on BBC One.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26It is an area that we're continuing to develop into and think about,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29so hopefully, there'll be good news for the viewers next year
0:11:29 > 0:11:31with another title.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35So the pouncing has occurred and you will get your programme, Belinda.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Let's see if we can't provide the same level
0:11:37 > 0:11:40of customer satisfaction for Nicky and Andrew.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08It all comes down to the limited amount of capacity available
0:12:08 > 0:12:11to broadcast our services.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14We already use the capacity we have to broadcast BBC Three
0:12:14 > 0:12:18and BBC Four to also broadcast the children's services CBeebies
0:12:18 > 0:12:22and CBBC during the day.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27We could buy more capacity to broadcast additional BBC +1 services
0:12:27 > 0:12:30on satellite, but we probably couldn't get enough capacity to
0:12:30 > 0:12:35make those available to all Freeview viewers in all parts of the country.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40The cost of broadcasting +1 versions of BBC One would also be significant.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Today, we broadcast 18 different versions of BBC One
0:12:44 > 0:12:47and four different versions of BBC Two,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51but of course we don't want anyone to miss our programmes.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55It's great that technologies like digital video recorders
0:12:55 > 0:12:57and the iPlayer have made it possible
0:12:57 > 0:13:01to pause live TV and record favourite programmes.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06I see, so we have to create DIY +1 channels by using iPlayer
0:13:06 > 0:13:09and hunting out our own repeats. Fine.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13We mentioned Strictly earlier and along with many other entertainment productions,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16they're busy preparing their Christmas specials now.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19We have the BBC's Controller of Entertainment Commissioning,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Mark Linsey, in the hotseat for an interview special
0:13:21 > 0:13:24in a couple of weeks' time for you.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Do let us know what you'd like Mark grilled about.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31You can write to this address...
0:13:31 > 0:13:37You're also more than welcome to e-mail. Here's the address...
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Jump on the ever-lively messageboard at...
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Or phone us on an old-fashioned telephone -
0:13:44 > 0:13:48here's the number charged as a local-rate call from any landline.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Goodbye.
