Good afternoon and a very warm welcome to Points Of View, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
THE place to air your views on the BBC. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
And if ever there was a week of differing views, well, this is it, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
so hold on tight because this is going to be a contentious ride. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
It's just been announced | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
that Baroness Thatcher has died this morning. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
On Monday, as news broke of the death of the former | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
schedulers were forced | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
to reshuffle programmes to allow for extended news coverage. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
The one o'clock news on BBC One was extended by an extra 30 minutes, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
nearly becoming the two o'clock news. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
This is an extended BBC One News. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
And as the day went on, programmes were moved to later start times | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
or off the schedules altogether to make way for the new story. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
'And in light of today's news, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
'we've some changes to our Monday afternoon schedule on BBC One.' | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
The BBC confirmed that, because of the news, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
there were several amendments to the schedule. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
A special news programme moved BBC One daytime viewing out of kilter. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
Later, two shows, Panorama and another one, The Prisoners, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
were sidelined to make way for the obituary programme, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Margaret Thatcher: Prime Minister. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
ANDREW MARR: Margaret Thatcher was Britain's only woman Prime Minister. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
It has been decided that Panorama and the documentary, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
The Prisoners, will now air tomorrow night. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
But it wasn't just the amount of time given to Baroness Thatcher. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
She was considered by many divisive in life, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
but how she's been remembered in death has split opinion, too. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
The final word on this goes to John Turner from Hamilton. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
He reckons he knows what the Iron Lady herself would've thought of it all. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
And while too much airtime dedicated to Baroness Thatcher | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
has been driving some mad, | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
others are simply mad at bad driving on their screens. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
BBC Three's Barely Legal Drivers reveals what teenagers get up to | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
when left alone behind the wheel. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
And some of it is definitely illegal. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
Tommy, if you go 100, you're going to get a tenner. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
Just do it, just do it. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
100? Ryan, you owe Tommy a tenner. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
The programme ends with a judgement as to whether | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
the teenager will be sent for advanced driving instruction | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
or has earned the right to a new car paid for by the BBC. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
We've come to the decision that we're going to give you | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
the money for another car. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
So, no more phones... | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
You're making me upset now. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
A lot of anger on this one. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
We put your questions to the BBC's Commissioning Editor | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
for documentaries, Charlotte Moore. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
The whole premise of Barely Legal Drivers is not to set | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
a bad example or to suggest that dangerous driving | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
is fine in any way, or to reward bad driving. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Dangerous driving or bad habits are never shown | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
without being commented on. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Former traffic cop Judith Roberts is on hand throughout | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
to offer practical advice, and it's her ultimate decision, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
not the parents' or the production company, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
as to whether the young person receives a car | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
or advanced driving lessons. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Because the series set out to encourage road safety | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
and to make young people better drivers, | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
this absolutely justifies the use of the programme budget | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
to pay for the advanced driving lessons, | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
or indeed the money towards a new car. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
PRESENTER: Distracted by the argument, Bradley carelessly cruises | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
through not just one but two sets of red traffic lights. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
There were very strict protocols around | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
health and safety throughout the series | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
for both the crew and the contributors. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
Unfortunately, on this one occasion, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
the crew made a bad judgement call and made the decision | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
to follow the contributor and therefore jump red lights | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
at the same time. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
The crew who made the film are very apologetic for this, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
and clearly we do not condone this at all. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
And an update on this from BBC Three - | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
they have now re-edited the episode, | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
removing the scene from any future repeat broadcast. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
So, we'll park driving there. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Food and cookery shows should be a safer area for discussion, | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
but their dominance in the schedules has led to many calls | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
for the BBC to turn the oven off. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
# Food, glorious food... # | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
'A little bit of what you fancy does you good. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
'But it reaches a point where you have a little bit more, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
'and then a little bit more, and then a lot more, | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
'way over the top and makes you feel sick. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
'I love food,' | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
but I don't want to watch 32.5 hours a week of food programmes. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
Bakers, there's one hour till I can sink my teeth into your buns. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
An hour and a half left. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Sweetness, acidity, fruity. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
Spiced mango naan bread. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:57 | |
That's something I really want to get stuck into. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
Going to start with some spicy roast chicken. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
First I just go at them with a rolling pin. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:05 | |
-Wow. -Oop! | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
Incredibly intensely flavoured. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
Oh, that's so delicious. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Three to five hours per day is at present allocated | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
to food programmes of one sort or another. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
Not forgetting his crucial sorrel leaf garnish. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
It's cooking, cooking, cooking. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
Obviously, tastes do vary, and I understand | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
that some people do like cookery programmes. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
But what we need is more variety with the programmes. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
Basically, they're all about cooking and preparing food. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
There's nothing like relaxing at the end of the day, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
putting your feet up and watch a bit of television. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
But food, food, food. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
It's over the top. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
The good news for all of those who have complained about | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
the great food feast is that this week the hours dedicated | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
to cookery have reduced. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
We've only been able to count 22 hours from last Sunday to today. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
Maybe the BBC is putting itself on that diet | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
you so badly think it needs. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
On the menu next, small portions. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
Now, that is the increasing trend of splitting stories | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
and returning to them later in the same programme, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
designed to keep us interested, but leaving us | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
feeling less than satisfied... | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
OK, I'll stop with the food analogies now, I promise. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
I'll show you. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
Chronicle, please. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
That's 80p, please, buddy. Thank you very much. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
Can I give you that half later? | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
-Morning, Richard. -Morning. -Pint of the usual, please. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
-There you go. I'll give you the other half later on. -OK. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
When I come in the pub and ask for a pint, I expect a whole pint, | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
not three quarters of a pint. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |
When I go and buy a newspaper, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
I expect all the extra supplements to be inside it. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
And when I sit down and watch a TV programme like Countryfile, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
I expect to see the whole story, not part of it. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
Later on, I'll be learning more about the Northumbrian dialect. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
Later on, I'll be finding out | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
if there are any lessons we can learn from here. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
And it's not just Countryfile. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
It's become more and more, and it's, I think, with several programmes. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
The Hotel Aldeia is an accident waiting to happen. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
Later, we discover more danger in the deep. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
It's happening more and more. But Countryfile is definitely the worst. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
I think they should change the programme | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
so we see one item at a time finished and then start the next item. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
Countryfile, at its best, is all about telling stories, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
and when you're telling a story, | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
you don't necessarily want to get to the pay off too quickly. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
Countryfile's very lucky with the richness of the content that it has. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
We have the beauty of the locations, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
we have the insight into the farming year that we have | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
with Adam's farm, | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
and we have the rather harder-nosed journalistic investigations. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
So the trick, really, | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
is to interweave all these elements into a satisfying mix | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
that will give you a coherent story across the 60 minutes. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
And that's what we try to do. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
Rather than half stories, | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
some feel that Doctor Who's been delivering half-hearted stories. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
Well, come on, then... | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
Eat up! | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
Are you full? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
The second episode of the current run, | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
entitled The Rings of Akhenaten, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
didn't quite hit the spot. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Let's hope the TARDIS is back on course next week. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
Graham Norton's return is certainly heading in the right direction, | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
with an A-list line-up including Tom Cruise and Gerard Butler, | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
the new series has earned itself an A+. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
And praise, too, for another returning series. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
In a week where news coverage has filled our mailbags, | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
Have I Got News For You has been welcomed with open arms. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
The One Show is a series that never goes away, and for that reason | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
we all get terribly familiar with its presenters. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
But is one of them a little overfamiliar | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
when she talks about the part of the country she comes from? | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
Take a look at this. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
-Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus i chi i gyd! -Yeah! | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Do you have a favourite British accent? Say Welsh! | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
I have to say the Welsh. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
Good luck to everybody with their teams in the Six Nations. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
Especially Wales. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
No-one's been more successful in doing so than the Welsh. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
Why is Wales going to smash England tomorrow? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
It is a brilliant Welsh accent. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
-Coming from you, that is a great compliment. You're Welsh, aren't you? -Well, yes. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
-I'm staying put in Wales. -Ah, the best place to be. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
Poor old Alex Jones. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:20 | |

at the subtitling. Goodbye. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
