0:00:02 > 0:00:04And we are back. Welcome to Points Of View,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07the show that gives you the chance to have your say
0:00:07 > 0:00:11on the BBC television programmes you've loved and loathed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26It was billed as being full of epic fails and big, big wins,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30but BBC One's new Saturday night game show may have only managed
0:00:30 > 0:00:33to live up to PART of that publicity patter.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Can't Touch This sees 16 contestants battle it out on an assault course
0:00:42 > 0:00:45with the premise that if they touch a prize, they can win it.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's see what he's got.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- A very sore chin.- Oh!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Oh, look, that last grab.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55But, for some of you, it was the format itself
0:00:55 > 0:00:57that ended up falling flat.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02SCREAMING
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Imagine Total Wipeout without
0:01:11 > 0:01:13the humour of Richard Hammond,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16where the audience appear to have gone home in total despair,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20where the desperate presenters try to find something to laugh at.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23You've got it. That's Can't Touch This.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27The show seemed to have too many contestants, was long and drawn-out,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31and 50 minutes' airtime seemed like two hours.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32This should be fun.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Oh, sorry, I meant painful.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Can't Touch This, failing to make a splash.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Sorry. More water sports for you now,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and last Sunday's Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47It is Cambridge.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51It is Cambridge who take it, who win the 162nd Boat Race.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Cambridge powered to victory in the men's race,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57claiming their first win since 2012.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00CHEERING
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The decision to include comedian Seann Walsh
0:02:02 > 0:02:05as part of the television line-up, though,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09gave a lot of viewers a distinct sinking feeling.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11What is your experience of the Boat Race so far?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13So far... I know nothing about this.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14I thought it was in Cambridge.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I have no idea. So I'm happy to be here.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I think there's been a booking error, basically.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23I felt that it hit a new low, with the comedian Seann Walsh
0:02:23 > 0:02:27making somewhat uninformed, mildly humorous comments
0:02:27 > 0:02:30on a subject he admitted he knew nothing about.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32The guy with the long hair, Seann Walsh,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35ruined the coverage between the races
0:02:35 > 0:02:38with his attempts at humour and with
0:02:38 > 0:02:40his offensive and sexist comments.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I was surprised and disappointed to see the coverage
0:02:43 > 0:02:47of the women's Boat Race debased by the antics of Seann Walsh,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51whose so-called humour was intended to enhance the experience.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55How anyone, even with the minimum of wit, can find this acceptable,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I fail to understand.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01At times even the co-presenter Helen Skelton appeared to have had enough.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07I've found an activity that means Seann is too exhausted to talk.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10And it wasn't just Points Of View you complained to.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15The BBC itself got more than 200 complaints about Seann's antics,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and they have offered us this statement in response.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Last Sunday night,
0:03:32 > 0:03:37we saw the tense climax of the BBC's lavish adaptation of John Le Carre's
0:03:37 > 0:03:391993 novel The Night Manager.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Just under seven million of you tuned in
0:03:44 > 0:03:47to see Hugh Laurie's character Richard Roper get his comeuppance,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and you were not disappointed.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52No! No!
0:03:52 > 0:03:53No! No!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55No!
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Hugh Laurie was superbly sinister and clearly a nasty piece of work.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Edge-of-the-seat tension was maintained throughout the series.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07It was an excellent piece of television,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11it was a well-developed plot and well-thought-through characters.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22It was a thrilling finale to what has been a fantastic series
0:04:22 > 0:04:25and it really didn't disappoint.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Though Le Carre didn't pen a sequel,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30the BBC's controller of TV channels and iPlayer, Charlotte Moore,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34has revealed the corporation is speaking to the author
0:04:34 > 0:04:36about a possible follow-up.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So Jonathan Pine, Angela Burr and, who knows,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42maybe even Richard Roper could be making a comeback.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Next, a show you're maybe not so keen to see return.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49We are gearing up for the Easter Weekend with two women
0:04:49 > 0:04:51who put the great in great outdoors.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54That's Julia Bradbury and Gardener's World legend Carol Klein.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Oh, I'm feeling fresh as a daisy. Let's hop to it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Drawing to a close on Friday was Too Much TV,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08a tea-time show on BBC Two all about...well, you have a guess.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Just walk on casually, why not?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Hello and welcome to the show. - The aim, apparently,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16was to highlight must-see programmes and let you catch
0:05:16 > 0:05:19the water-cooler moments you might have missed.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21The biggest decision of the day still remains...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23ALL: What are we watching tonight?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26If nothing else, it sounds like they got the title right.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28You did not hold back.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31The show is uninventive, soporific,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33vomit-inducing
0:05:33 > 0:05:38in its self-reverential, self-congratulatory,
0:05:38 > 0:05:44uncritical oozings over D-list celebrity culture.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It's a real horror.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47D-list celebs?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Wait a minute,- I- was a guest on it, Tony!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03This programme is not fit for BBC Two.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It is shallow and it is more suitable
0:06:05 > 0:06:07for the lightweight channels.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I think the standards have certainly slipped.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12No word yet if Too Much TV will be back.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Back in January,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19BBC Three revealed a new logo, and we will have more
0:06:19 > 0:06:22on that channel's move online later in the series.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25But recently it was the turn of the BBC channel
0:06:25 > 0:06:30for 6- to 12-year-olds, CBBC, to unveil their new look.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34What was previously this now looks like this.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37And you got in touch to say you are not impressed.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50But what do CBBC's target audience think of their channel's new look?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Can they read it?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54And could they, as some of you have suggested,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56have come up with something better?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59We headed to a school in Aberdeen to find out.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01MUSIC: Bills by LunchMoney Lewis
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It looks like a C...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14BBC. Oh?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- No, I don't recognise it at all.- BBC One.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- BBC Two.- A "C".
0:07:20 > 0:07:21I'm getting confused.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- CBBC.- CBBC.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29I think it's brilliant.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- I think it's really nice. - I think it's really nice.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34It looks like a flower.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It's very dark and it's not bold.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38And it looks dumb.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40It has lots of colours in it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43All the colours of the rainbow.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's hard to read it anyway.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48And it's got lots of bits.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50The logo is amazing.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55I think it will make loads of children want to watch it.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59OK, boys and girls, we are going to design our own CBBC logos.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Are we ready? - ALL: Yeah!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09This is my CBBC design.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I designed it like the Britain flag.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21I've done my BBBC and I put flowers on it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25This is my CBBC sign.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30And I made it cool because CBBC is cool.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33And there we are.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37There's my one. Not as good as the kids', though, is it?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41The announcement way back in October last year that Antiques Roadshow had
0:08:41 > 0:08:44found its highest-value item had you on tenterhooks,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47waiting for the prize piece to be revealed.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Last Sunday,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53the dramatic moment finally arrived, but the item turned out to be
0:08:53 > 0:08:56not a priceless painting or a valuable vase...
0:08:56 > 0:09:00With football's most prestigious cup competition in full swing
0:09:00 > 0:09:03here on the BBC, we were offered a rare opportunity
0:09:03 > 0:09:06to work with a very special piece of silver.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09And that left some of you feeling, well, cheated.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Along comes Gabby Logan with one of the FA Cups.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15How totally disappointing.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19And how appalling of the BBC and of Antiques Roadshow for all the hype
0:09:19 > 0:09:22and publicity surrounding this item.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38To be fair, the BBC had described the item last October
0:09:38 > 0:09:42as a world-famous piece owned by a sporting institution but, still,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45many of you felt that the former FA Cup's inclusion
0:09:45 > 0:09:49wasn't in keeping with the spirit of the show.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51And we put your comments to the BBC.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53This is their reply.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20Next, plenty of you in touch to show your appreciation for BBC Two's
0:10:20 > 0:10:22This Farming Life.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24This one's mum didn't have enough milk.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28This one is the same. As you can see, it's a lot smaller.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31So I thought I would take it away and bottle-feed it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34So I'm basically giving myself more work.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37The 12-part series, which finished its run this week,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40followed five different farming families in Scotland
0:10:40 > 0:10:43as they tried to turn a profit in tough economic times.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12If you missed it, This Farming Life is available on the iPlayer.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Also concluding recently,
0:11:13 > 0:11:17the historical drama that has left you desperate
0:11:17 > 0:11:19to discover what happens next.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Set in Australia after World War II,
0:11:21 > 0:11:26series three of A Place To Call Home finished on BBC Two last month,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28and what an ending!
0:11:28 > 0:11:32We saw Sarah's tonic being poisoned by George's jealous lover,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35James learning the child he thought was his own, wasn't,
0:11:35 > 0:11:39and Elizabeth and Douglas's romantic rendezvous
0:11:39 > 0:11:41derailed by a heart attack.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43You're hooked and you want more.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04I will let Arianwen Parkes-Lockwood, who plays Olivia, answer that one.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09We are, right now, as we speak, shooting season four
0:12:09 > 0:12:12and, although I'm under very solemn oath not to tell you
0:12:12 > 0:12:14what happens in it,
0:12:14 > 0:12:20I CAN say that it's very exciting and it's very 1950s Australia,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24and we are very, very thrilled to be making season four for you to see.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28But will we be able to see it here in the UK?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Well, we can exclusively reveal that the BBC has snapped up the rights to
0:12:32 > 0:12:33series four just this week.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36So Arianwen and the rest of the cast
0:12:36 > 0:12:39will be back on UK screens in early 2017.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Darling, what splendid news.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Please, do keep your points of view coming.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48You can e-mail us at -
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Or via the website -
0:12:52 > 0:12:54where you can also send us a video, which we love.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58We are on social media, too. Tweet us -
0:12:58 > 0:13:01or join in the conversation about the week's television
0:13:01 > 0:13:04on our brilliant Facebook page.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07And finally, Britain lost a real comedy legend this week,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09when Ronnie Corbett sadly passed away.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11We will leave you with a clip.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13We're back at the same time, 4pm, next Sunday.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Until then, it's goodnight from me.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19This record is actually something rather special to me
0:13:19 > 0:13:23because it contains all the funniest jokes that I've told
0:13:23 > 0:13:25in 30 years of show business.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28LAUGHTER
0:13:31 > 0:13:33It's pathetic, isn't it?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I've heard of compact discs, but that's ridiculous.
