:00:20. > :00:30.Welcome to the programme. Good afternoon. Nearly 9 million people
:00:31. > :00:34.tuned in to BBC One last Saturday night for the final of the
:00:35. > :00:48.Eurovision Song contest. A resounding victory... Austria's
:00:49. > :00:54.Conchita Wurst took the prize, but how much of the say did British
:00:55. > :00:57.voters have in this election? Although the audience vote placed
:00:58. > :01:11.Pole and's eye-catching performance in first place, our five person
:01:12. > :01:16.expert jury ranked them last. So, when the two scores were combined,
:01:17. > :01:21.the singing, laundry and churning butter combination failed to get two
:01:22. > :01:29.points from the UK. I think it is pretty unfair that the UK's
:01:30. > :01:33.favourite were not rewarded because they are the people paying for the
:01:34. > :01:38.vote. It is important to point out the BBC have got nothing to do with
:01:39. > :01:44.the voting system, Eurovision TV makes up the rules so we passed on
:01:45. > :01:59.your comments to them. Maybe it is time for a rethink? Thank you. From
:02:00. > :02:02.singing to dancing now, and as predicted here on this very
:02:03. > :02:10.programme, the announcement that Claudia Winkleman will take over
:02:11. > :02:21.from Bruce on Strictly. We think it is great that the BBC has chosen
:02:22. > :02:25.Tess and Claudia. I grew up where there was always a man and his
:02:26. > :02:36.glamorous assistant, and now it is time for a change. It is time. Go,
:02:37. > :02:40.girls! We love you, Darcy! Mother and daughter Priscilla and Charlotte
:02:41. > :02:54.loving the idea of the all-female presenting team. But not everyone is
:02:55. > :03:05.convinced. Surely agenda balance is better for this programme. BBC,
:03:06. > :03:12.balance, please. To fill Sir Bruce's shoes, the BBC needed to
:03:13. > :03:19.appoint someone of the calibre of Anton Du Beke. A golden opportunity
:03:20. > :03:27.has been missed because the BBC seem willing to take notice of what
:03:28. > :03:30.people want. I feel that now Strictly's days are numbered. I
:03:31. > :03:36.wonder if it is anything to do with the BBC statement that they are
:03:37. > :03:41.going to feature more women, and if so this is political correctness
:03:42. > :03:51.gone mad. I hope this is not the beginning of the end for Strictly.
:03:52. > :04:00.Surely not! Next, the start of Match Of The Day, and the information
:04:01. > :04:06.being given to soon. I settled down to the programme on Sunday evening
:04:07. > :04:09.but the producers proceeded to ruin my enjoyment by screening the
:04:10. > :04:23.Manchester City match first so that I then knew Liverpool could not win
:04:24. > :04:28.the title. A point against West Ham would secure the title... Why did
:04:29. > :04:33.they show the Manchester City came first? Previous seasons, by flitting
:04:34. > :04:39.from one game to the other, they kept the excitement going to the
:04:40. > :04:46.end. Next, a drama series concluding with the viewers not knowing how the
:04:47. > :04:48.story has ended. First there was the popular silk about a group of
:04:49. > :05:03.barristers. Some viewers left with a lot of
:05:04. > :05:08.unanswered questions following the decision to bow out of court on this
:05:09. > :05:13.one. The series writer Peter Moffat is on the record as saying he
:05:14. > :05:21.believed the story had come to a natural conclusion but some fans
:05:22. > :05:26.don't agree. I think the ending of the BBC's Silk left a lot of
:05:27. > :05:33.unanswered questions. The guy that is in some sort of prison, is that
:05:34. > :05:38.an assassin? What was the reason for his two different testimonies? Did
:05:39. > :05:44.an innocent man go to prison? If the writers are going to go all abstract
:05:45. > :05:59.on us, perhaps they can let us know and then we can decide whether to
:06:00. > :06:03.watch. Then there was The Paradise on BBC One. I wondered if you would
:06:04. > :06:11.give me the honour of becoming my husband. Will you say yes? Yes. And
:06:12. > :06:21.some fans of this series feel a lot has been left unresolved. This is
:06:22. > :06:25.one of the best dramas on BBC television for a long time. I felt
:06:26. > :06:30.it finished on a cliffhanger because they were not going to get married
:06:31. > :06:37.yet. I think it could have been explored as to whether she succeeded
:06:38. > :06:43.or failed and how that affected the relationship between two ambitious
:06:44. > :06:48.people. I think there was still a lot to be told in this story. The
:06:49. > :06:58.drama department feel it was right to make room for new dramas coming
:06:59. > :07:02.through, so that is the story. Fans of the Crimson Field will be hoping
:07:03. > :07:12.their drama is not delivered of the same fate. We caught up with a group
:07:13. > :07:16.of ladies at their darts and dominoes evening. I watched the
:07:17. > :07:22.first episode without realising what was on, and I was instantly gripped
:07:23. > :07:27.by the storyline. I thought it was fantastic. It was fascinating to see
:07:28. > :07:32.the workings of an army hospital in World War I. I liked the way it was
:07:33. > :07:37.set up, it gave you a feeling of what the era was like. When Joan
:07:38. > :07:48.arrived on her motorbike, I thought she was a really good character. Are
:07:49. > :07:54.you waiting for me? I felt we were going to have some interesting
:07:55. > :08:03.storylines with her, which we did. It was such a strong part. I liked
:08:04. > :08:10.the nurse that went for a swim in the sea. That stands out, just a bit
:08:11. > :08:16.of normality. Normality in the chaos of war really. The private who was
:08:17. > :08:22.supposed to be getting sent home, I felt for him all the way through it,
:08:23. > :08:26.and when he didn't go because that horrible nurse tore up his papers, I
:08:27. > :08:36.wanted to go and do something to her! The sister who had been
:08:37. > :08:45.overlooked for promotion... It is right it was you, and I couldn't be
:08:46. > :08:49.more proud. My protege. I know you will rise to the challenge. She was
:08:50. > :08:58.extremely underhand and 2-faced and I liked her character. It surprises
:08:59. > :09:02.me that they haven't announced there is going to be a second series yet
:09:03. > :09:05.because usually at the end of the series they say the second series
:09:06. > :09:10.will be starting in the autumn of whatever. I would like to see what
:09:11. > :09:16.happens to some of the characters, how they are going to grow, and if
:09:17. > :09:20.there is happiness at the end of all of this conflict. There were so many
:09:21. > :09:26.storylines, it has been left up in the air and I want to know what
:09:27. > :09:29.happened to everybody. The drama department say an announcement on
:09:30. > :09:34.whether there will be a return to the fields of northern France will
:09:35. > :09:38.be made soon. We will let you know as soon as we do.
:09:39. > :09:42.If the Conservatives were the largest party with the minority,
:09:43. > :09:47.that suggests you would not be Prime Minister because you couldn't
:09:48. > :09:51.guarantee that referendum. I will not become Prime Minister unless I
:09:52. > :09:58.can guarantee that the in-out referendum will be held. I have
:09:59. > :10:04.answered the question. There is a good reason for this... Now the
:10:05. > :10:09.Prime Minister came into some tough grilling on Sunday morning's Andrew
:10:10. > :10:13.Marr Show, and with time running out the presenter found it difficult to
:10:14. > :10:22.bring an end to the political argy-bargy. I'm really sorry, we
:10:23. > :10:26.have run out of time. We are not sure exactly what was said and to
:10:27. > :10:45.whom, but for some of you this was a step too far.
:10:46. > :10:56.The BBC have told us that despite some viewers' complaints, ten
:10:57. > :11:01.Downing St have not been upset by Andrew Marr's comments. And now to a
:11:02. > :11:18.TV world where there is a lot more love, the return of DIY SOS The Big
:11:19. > :11:31.Build. I had a bet on with the cameraman that I wouldn't cry. He
:11:32. > :11:37.has just won! When you think about it, this is a love story, not a
:11:38. > :11:41.fairy tale, down in the trenches love story. John simply would not
:11:42. > :11:46.give up on June. When the doctors said she would not be able to speak
:11:47. > :11:52.or move her hands, he would not have that and now this story has a happy
:11:53. > :11:57.ending. Nick and the team of volunteers spreading love, that's
:11:58. > :12:06.what we need, some positivity. This is what the BBC does well...
:12:07. > :12:22.BBC for has not disappointed, it has had more viewers for its programme
:12:23. > :12:32.The First Georgians than any other programme this year so far. I have
:12:33. > :12:37.just finished watching the programme and it has been a fascinating look
:12:38. > :12:41.at such an important period in British history. Lucy's knowledge
:12:42. > :12:47.and enthusiasm of the subject matter has made it a thoroughly enjoyable
:12:48. > :12:50.programme to watch. Thank you for all of your views and if you would
:12:51. > :12:55.like to tell us what you think of any of the programmes you have been

:13:34. > :13:38.questions. You can send them by Twitter, but however you send them,
:13:39. > :13:40.do get in touch because your comments make this programme. Until
:13:41. > :13:50.next week, goodbye. It's OK, love. My name's Daniel.
:13:51. > :13:53.What's yours? Joanne. it feels like one life
:13:54. > :13:58.isn't enough. Your wife will be wondering where
:13:59. > :14:01.you've got to. I'm not married. There's something inside your head
:14:02. > :14:04.and it's driving you mad. So, what happened to the ten grand
:14:05. > :14:07.I gave you?
