0:00:06 > 0:00:11and an exclusive look behind the scenes of EastEnders' costume department.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Welcome to Points Of View.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Good afternoon. This is the programme where we air your views
0:00:27 > 0:00:29on what you've been watching on TV.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33And if you've been watching at all this week, it is highly likely
0:00:33 > 0:00:35that at least some of it has been football.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Lots of compliments for the coverage,
0:00:38 > 0:00:43but some people questioning the size of the BBC team out in Rio.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47God alone knows how many people are ensconced in Brazil,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and at what cost.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Does anybody really believe that,
0:00:52 > 0:00:58for every single match on television now,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01And another two commentating on the match?
0:01:01 > 0:01:08I mean, the performances of these so-called pundits on screen,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12to reinstate the depleted Amazon rainforest that sits so close by.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I would like to know why, in this day and age,
0:01:14 > 0:01:18we have to send so many commentators to these events
0:01:18 > 0:01:19when we have satellites.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23The cost to the licence-payer must be enormous.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28I cannot see why they cannot commentate
0:01:28 > 0:01:30OK, so here are the figures.
0:01:30 > 0:01:37There are 272 BBC staff out there.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40more than 200 hours on radio,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42and they'll service online output
0:01:42 > 0:01:46that's bigger than anything that's been done for the World Cup before.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I'm sensing you're still not convinced.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Here is the Sports Department's take.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08And it isn't just the NUMBER of people out there in Rio
0:02:08 > 0:02:10that is winding some of you up,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14it's the style of one of the commentators in particular.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Please tell me that Philip Neville
0:02:15 > 0:02:18will not be commentating on any more matches.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22His monotonous tone is driving us mad. He's so boring and bad at it.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Please substitute him.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I couldn't believe it. He was so bad.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I thought you'd sent us Dave from the Royle Family!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It was that bad I had to switch the television off
0:02:32 > 0:02:34and listen to it on Radio 5 live.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39What were you thinking of, when you had so many better people out there?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Unbelievable, BBC!
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Motty must've been laughing himself down Copacabana Beach!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Now, because of the restrictions on sports rights,
0:02:46 > 0:02:50we can't show you ACTUAL footage of the offending commentary
0:02:50 > 0:02:53during that England-Italy match,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57but we can let you hear some of what is being criticised.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01England was looking for the counterattack.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Early on.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04It's over on that left-hand side.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Leighton Baines is talking to Wayne Rooney...
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Spare a thought for poor Phil Neville.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12He has really come under attack on this one.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15There have been more than 600 complaints to the BBC
0:03:15 > 0:03:20and he's had to endure a tirade of abuse on Twitter.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I loved social media till about 24 hours ago!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25ALL LAUGH
0:03:25 > 0:03:28For his part, Neville has said he will learn from the criticism,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and the BBC told us they remain committed
0:03:31 > 0:03:33to using him throughout the tournament.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37And he thought being a footballer was pressured!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41This is a unique and intimate look at the growing pains
0:03:41 > 0:03:45of the most important captive tiger cubs on Earth.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51BBC Two's new three-part series Tigers About The House
0:03:51 > 0:03:55delighted many with its ever-so-cute
0:03:55 > 0:03:59and highly endangered Sumatran tiger cubs.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05Such a joy to watch! I couldn't wait for episode two and three
0:04:05 > 0:04:08to see these little tiger cubs being born
0:04:08 > 0:04:11and then, to be able to follow their lives
0:04:11 > 0:04:16through the next six months was absolutely magnificent.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19But quite a few of you questioning the keeper's decision
0:04:19 > 0:04:23to remove the newborn cubs from their mother and hand-rear them.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26They're going to take Kaitlyn for one of her daily walks
0:04:26 > 0:04:30so she isn't there when the cubs leave.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Let's get you out of here.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33And then we'll talk to you when we get home, eh?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46So, was it fair to remove those cubs?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Here's how keeper Giles Clark defended the decision
0:04:49 > 0:04:51in the programme.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53The fact that we hand-rear these guys,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56they're going to be much, much better adjusted animals
0:04:56 > 0:04:59and, ultimately, much more suitable for a life in captivity.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05OK. A tiger of a different kind now - Jeremy Paxman -
0:05:05 > 0:05:08and his last ever appearance in the Newsnight chair,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10which was this week.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Well, that's it. In the tradition of deranged news anchors,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17I ought to ask you all to go to your windows, throw them up and scream,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it any more!"
0:05:19 > 0:05:21But this is England, so I'll just say,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25thank you for watching Newsnight. I hope you continue to enjoy it.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Good night, and goodbye.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35One thing I believe many will miss
0:05:35 > 0:05:37is his distinctive way of questioning.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39He managed to be persistent in questioning
0:05:39 > 0:05:42until a convincing answer was given out.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Yet, he managed to show his sense of humour.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46# You see the trouble with me... #
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Can you assure us there will be no VAT on food, children's clothes,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51transport, newspapers, anything?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Do you ever wonder whether you're up to the job?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Is the present policy the right policy?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Oh, Jeremy, do stop this nonsense!
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Did you threaten to overrule him?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02I was not entitled to instruct Derek Lewis
0:06:02 > 0:06:05and I did not instruct him. Did you threaten to overrule him?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08If you ask that question again, I'm going, I warn you now.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10With respect, you haven't answered the question
0:06:10 > 0:06:12of whether you threatened to overrule him.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Crikey! Well done! Well done! You're doing good!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Boris, this is death! Don't give up!
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Jeremy Paxman, doubtless feeling uncomfortable with all this praise.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Gone from Newsnight, but, I suspect, not for ever, from our screens.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Now, the popular soap opera EastEnders next.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35We were invited by the EastEnders costume department
0:06:35 > 0:06:39to take a look around and to see just how complicated it is
0:06:39 > 0:06:43to get everyone in the right clothes at the right times!
0:06:43 > 0:06:46So, watch out for our special preview here
0:06:46 > 0:06:48for some out-of-character dressing up
0:06:48 > 0:06:52that is planned for Tuesday's episode.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54MUSIC: Theme From EastEnders
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Hi, I'm Di. And I'm Claire.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01And welcome, Points Of View, to an exclusive look
0:07:01 > 0:07:04around Albert Square, Walford.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08We are coming to a couple of sets that are completely new,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11but I think have already been on screen. We've got Albert's,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13The Albert here, run by Sharon.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16And it's actually really beautiful inside, that.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18It's got a little balcony on top which is very Hoxton.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Very east London.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22You keep running off!
0:07:22 > 0:07:26This is Beales. This is Ian's new restaurant. Fine stuff.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29You can get a good burger in there.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32There you go, Sharon. One deluxe with avocado, but no bacon.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Here we are at Walford East station.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38And this is the point where there have been many road traffic accidents.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Most recently, David was run over by Janine.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42TYRES SCREECH
0:07:42 > 0:07:46And of course, we lost Jamie there and Danielle.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47And the thing is, we are on a set,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and the attention to detail is amazing.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Even the posters, every little bit.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54My mum was right about you, Kat.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56You are a selfish, lying little cow!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58And you come back here like nothing's happened!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00This is Bianca's new puffer jacket.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03She got it for Christmas, because she did have a silver one,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05but we got her a new one for Christmas
0:08:05 > 0:08:07just to keep the fashionistas on their toes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10And then, I've got here the Holy Grail of costume accessory -
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Pat Butcher's earrings.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14So, it's my fault, is it?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I'd never blame a lady. I ain't no lady.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22These are my favourites. They go with my outfit!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25We've got 40 regular artists, plus SAs...
0:08:25 > 0:08:28"Supporting artists". Children.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32And visiting cast members. Like teachers, solicitors... Policemen...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35And every one of those people need a costume.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38So, you can see, just by looking in this room,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40that we have an enormous amount of work to do.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44EastEnders is so fast, we get the scripts, and then,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47we have to have the clothes, usually within about five days.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51'And there's such a pressure that you've got to get it quickly,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53'and it's got to look good.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56'If you imagine going out shopping for a wedding for one person.'
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Well, we shop for 40 people for a wedding, sometimes, in EastEnders.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03And they each have character clothing.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06So, sometimes YOU can't find that dress you need.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08We have that 40 times over!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16There you go, darling! You'll be the belle of the ball in that!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19'We've got a scene coming up this week in EastEnders
0:09:19 > 0:09:24'where Alfie and Terry wanted to make more money on a market stall,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27'so they have this idea of dressing up as women.'
0:09:27 > 0:09:31So, we had to get two men into ladies' clothes that fit them.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33And then, we had to get a dress that we could get lots of,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35'so it looked like they were selling them, as well.'
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Were you bullied at school?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40'Both the actors were very happy in those particular costumes!
0:09:40 > 0:09:41'They looked absolutely great
0:09:41 > 0:09:44'and they really entered into the spirit of it and wore long wigs
0:09:45 > 0:09:46'and they really entered into the spirit of it and wore long wigs
0:09:46 > 0:09:48'and they looked very funny.'
0:09:48 > 0:09:50We know that you on Points Of View like to pick us up
0:09:50 > 0:09:53on continuity mistakes, but we work really hard!
0:09:53 > 0:09:57There's not that many though. There aren't many...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Ever, right? ..in Costume!
0:09:59 > 0:10:02But, we work really hard, and if you realise how much filming goes on
0:10:02 > 0:10:06and how many episodes are being filmed together...
0:10:06 > 0:10:07'When somebody walks into the Vic,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10'that scene might be filmed two weeks after the scene
0:10:10 > 0:10:14'we've shot outside. So, that's how difficult it is.'
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Every scene they do, we take a picture of the character
0:10:17 > 0:10:18and what they're wearing.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23And we take notes, too. So, we're trying, Points Of View!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25BOTH CHUCKLE
0:10:27 > 0:10:30You can see more from behind the scenes at EastEnders
0:10:30 > 0:10:32on our programme page.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34And a truly British affair last Saturday
0:10:34 > 0:10:38with live coverage of the annual Trooping The Colour ceremony,
0:10:38 > 0:10:43and the pomp and ritual of the occasion pleasing many viewers.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47But some, who were relying on the subtitles to understand the commentary,
0:10:47 > 0:10:51were left thinking that they were watching some kind of comedy at times.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Yes, you read that right - "cabbages" instead of "carriages"!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10And not once, but twice.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Well, Mollie Crisp, although it wasn't the intention,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32we're happy to have made you laugh.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35And the vegetable reference wasn't the only mistake spotted!
0:11:35 > 0:11:38There's a more serious side to this.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43We are constantly getting complaints about inaccuracies in the subtitling service
0:11:43 > 0:11:49which frustrate those of you who rely on it.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51a new piece of kit would be run out soon
0:11:51 > 0:11:53which would help improve things.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Now, that is apparently still being worked on.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59This time around, they simply told us their skilled subtitlers
0:11:59 > 0:12:04work hard to achieve high levels of accuracy during live coverage.
0:12:04 > 0:12:18But the boss did also give us this apology.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22or anything else on the BBC, here is how you can get yourself heard.
0:12:22 > 0:12:29You can do so by writing to us.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Or you can call our phone line -
0:12:33 > 0:12:37and the number is charged as a local-rate call from any landline.
0:12:41 > 0:12:47And there's always the message board. It gets lively there!
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Or e-mail us.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55And don't forget, we're on Twitter, too, which is @bbcpov.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Next week is the last in the series before our summer break.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00But before we go this week,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04some of you complaining that Huw Edwards spoiled your enjoyment
0:13:04 > 0:13:08of the fly-past at this year's Trooping The Colour.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Kevin Bowdery sums up the feeling of quite a few.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Everyone knows about that roar!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Even the pilots that were interviewed beforehand
0:13:17 > 0:13:19said the noise sent a shiver up their spine,
0:13:19 > 0:13:20it gives them goose bumps!
0:13:20 > 0:13:23And yet, all I could hear was Huw Edwards' chattering!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Please, he should have kept quiet. Even for five seconds.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28So, for you, Kevin,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31and all the others who wanted to appreciate the sound
0:13:31 > 0:13:33of these magnificent flying machines,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36without the added commentary, here it is.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Until next week, goodbye.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40THUNDEROUS ENGINE ROAR
0:13:56 > 0:13:58# I don't want you to leave Will you hold my hand? #
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Everything's going to be fine.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03# Oh, won't you stay with me? #
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Help!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08# Cos you're all I need... #
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I just wanted to do something right.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Casualty, a two-part special.
