0:00:03 > 0:00:05After a summer saturated with sport

0:00:05 > 0:00:07and, hopefully, sunshine where you are, we are back!

0:00:07 > 0:00:11Welcome to the show where you tell the BBC's producers

0:00:11 > 0:00:13exactly what you think of their work.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Welcome to your Points Of View.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28After falling silent more than 30 years ago,

0:00:28 > 0:00:32the tills of Grace Brothers were ringing once more last Sunday,

0:00:32 > 0:00:35as BBC One resurrected Are You Being Served?

0:00:35 > 0:00:37for a one-off special.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41Staying true to the original, there were innuendos aplenty.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Centre Court, Wimbledon, 1977.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47I thought all my birthdays had come at once

0:00:47 > 0:00:49when I caught one of his balls.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Remakes can be risky,

0:00:52 > 0:00:55but there was plenty of praise for the new cast

0:00:55 > 0:00:59that stepped into the shoes of the sitcom's much-loved characters.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23But while some of you were left yearning for more...

0:01:27 > 0:01:29..this one had you split right down the middle,

0:01:29 > 0:01:32with some feeling there was only one place for it -

0:01:32 > 0:01:33the bargain bin.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Actually, that was on BBC Four on Thursday night, Cait.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06Well, a remake of a lost episode, anyway.

0:02:06 > 0:02:07Moving on...

0:02:07 > 0:02:10it has featured appearances from Orlando Bloom and Kate Winslet,

0:02:10 > 0:02:13and is officially the world's longest-running

0:02:13 > 0:02:15prime-time medical drama series.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19BBC One's Casualty celebrated its 30th anniversary last weekend

0:02:19 > 0:02:23with a feature-length episode that saw the return of familiar faces

0:02:23 > 0:02:25from the series' past,

0:02:25 > 0:02:30and disaster strike on the doorstep of Holby City's A department.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33What happened? She deteriorated in the scanner,

0:02:33 > 0:02:34had a fit and vomited.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37She's now in respiratory arrest. We need to get a tube down.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41With the soundtrack provided by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales,

0:02:41 > 0:02:44the special set some of your pulses racing.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56I thought it was absolutely brilliant.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59It was epic, the special effects was really, really good.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Well done, BBC One!

0:03:01 > 0:03:04But others felt the episode suffered from

0:03:04 > 0:03:07a script in dire need of some first aid.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Not that we're aware of.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Casualty continues its record-breaking run

0:03:24 > 0:03:26on Saturday nights on BBC One.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Now, they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31But two much-loved series on BBC Two

0:03:31 > 0:03:34have recently made changes to their format,

0:03:34 > 0:03:35and you aren't happy.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38We visited two viewers who got in touch with us to find out more.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43I've been watching Dragons' Den since about Season Two.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47And I really enjoy watching the Dragons pick apart businesses

0:03:47 > 0:03:49and work out whether they're worth investing in.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50And what has it cost you?

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Er, it... That's not something I'm happy to go on television.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00I've been a regular viewer of Mastermind

0:04:00 > 0:04:03for probably four decades, and always enjoy it.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07And it's quite tense,

0:04:07 > 0:04:09and I think it's the tension that you really enjoy.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Kelvin, Fahrenheit and Celsius are all scales for measuring what?

0:04:13 > 0:04:14Temperature. Yep.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Dragons' Den this series has had a Reaction Room.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20They have a family member or friend watching how the pitch is going

0:04:20 > 0:04:21and making judgments.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24I actually don't want to watch this, this is... No! Don't be a wimp!

0:04:24 > 0:04:26The problem with the Reaction Room

0:04:26 > 0:04:28is I'm not particularly interested in what

0:04:28 > 0:04:31someone's best mate's uncle's friend has to think about this pitch.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33I'm interested in what the investors think.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35It turns it into a reality show,

0:04:35 > 0:04:37and that therefore makes it less believable.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39The show has changed recently.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43At the end of each contestant's round, there's a countdown clock,

0:04:43 > 0:04:45which indicates how much time is left.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48And there's music playing over the top.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50What does Bruce Anderson take from the house of his boss,

0:04:50 > 0:04:52the surveyor Raeburn Todd,

0:04:52 > 0:04:55shortly before the South Edinburgh Conservative Association ball?

0:04:55 > 0:04:56Underpants. Yep. BEEP

0:04:56 > 0:05:02The problem with the changes are that you lose the tension,

0:05:02 > 0:05:05because you can now see how many seconds there are left.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06When we first saw it,

0:05:06 > 0:05:09both myself and my wife just looked at each other and said,

0:05:09 > 0:05:10"What have they done?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12"We don't... That's awful."

0:05:12 > 0:05:15If I could say one thing to the producers of Dragons' Den,

0:05:15 > 0:05:18I would say, "Stick to your roots, stick to the original format."

0:05:18 > 0:05:21But if they continue going down the direction which they are going into,

0:05:21 > 0:05:23I probably will find it less and less enjoyable

0:05:23 > 0:05:25and I'll probably stop watching altogether.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28If I had to say one thing to the producers of Mastermind,

0:05:28 > 0:05:30it would be, "Leave it alone."

0:05:30 > 0:05:32If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Well, we put those views to the people in charge.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Here is what the executive producer of Mastermind had to say.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Sounds like those changes could be here to stay.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00And on Dragons' Den?

0:06:22 > 0:06:24One hit format, untouched so far,

0:06:24 > 0:06:27returned to BBC One's screens recently,

0:06:27 > 0:06:30with its opening episode garnering a larger audience

0:06:30 > 0:06:34than the most-watched moment of the Rio Olympics.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35Quite a feat.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39The Great British Bake Off is back,

0:06:39 > 0:06:43with a new batch of amateur bakers hoping to whip up perfect peaks

0:06:43 > 0:06:47and concoct gorgeous glazes under the watchful eyes of Mary Berry

0:06:47 > 0:06:49and Paul Hollywood.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51That's Susan, my sister. Susan.

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Spices coming through.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Little warming effect for the ginger.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59And I think your sister tastes lovely.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Your sister's absolutely scrumptious.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03She'll be very pleased to know that!

0:07:03 > 0:07:06So far, the series seems to be rising to the occasion for you.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19Though at least one of you thinks

0:07:19 > 0:07:21maybe it's time to mix things up a bit.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34There are another eight episodes to enjoy

0:07:34 > 0:07:37before 2016's Bake Off champion is crowned.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Keep your thoughts coming.

0:07:39 > 0:07:44But last year's GBBO winner has also been back on BBC One recently.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Two-part documentary The Chronicles of Nadiya

0:07:47 > 0:07:50saw Nadiya saw Nadiya Hussain return to her family's homeland

0:07:50 > 0:07:54of Bangladesh for the first time in a decade,

0:07:54 > 0:07:56cooking for family and friends,

0:07:56 > 0:07:59and exploring her cultural and culinary roots.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Coming to Bangladesh, or teaching my children about Bangladesh,

0:08:12 > 0:08:14was never really that important to me.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15But it feels important to me now.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18You enjoy yourself? Yeah. Good.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20The mix of food, culture,

0:08:20 > 0:08:23and Nadiya's personality proved a winning recipe.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40A marvellous mix of race, religion, food...

0:08:40 > 0:08:43All mixed together to give us a very interesting programme.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47You can catch both episodes of The Chronicles Of Nadiya

0:08:47 > 0:08:48on the iPlayer now.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Staying on foreign shores,

0:08:50 > 0:08:54BBC Two was serving up a slice of the Big Apple this week.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56New York: America's Busiest City,

0:08:56 > 0:09:01had Ade Adepitan, Anita Rani, Ant Anstead and Dan Snow jetting off

0:09:01 > 0:09:05to discover the systems that keep the thriving metropolis functioning.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07The first of three episodes on Tuesday

0:09:07 > 0:09:10saw the team explore Grand Central Station.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13How long did it take you to learn the timetable?

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Well, it's not that long.

0:09:14 > 0:09:15Not long. Not long.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Not long. Cos it's already...

0:09:17 > 0:09:18Like, it's been in my head,

0:09:18 > 0:09:22cos I've been in Grand Central since 1990.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24It may be the city that never sleeps,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26but this one had you nodding off...

0:09:41 > 0:09:44..while the script and presenters had you questioning

0:09:44 > 0:09:46just who the show was really aimed at.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09That take on America's biggest city perhaps not as Frank Sinatra sang,

0:10:09 > 0:10:11king of the hill, or top of the heap.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18BBC Four's latest venture into the world of slow-paced TV

0:10:18 > 0:10:21hit the road on bank holiday Monday.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23With no distracting music or commentary,

0:10:23 > 0:10:25All Aboard The Country Bus

0:10:25 > 0:10:27took viewers on a sedentary two-hour bus trip

0:10:27 > 0:10:29across Yorkshire.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30Mind how you go.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31Have a nice day. Thank you.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Thank you.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38FAINT MOOING

0:10:41 > 0:10:45A one-way ticket to perfection for some of you.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58I particularly enjoy the format of this programme

0:10:58 > 0:10:59shown in real time,

0:10:59 > 0:11:01and in complete silence,

0:11:01 > 0:11:04watching the view of the Yorkshire Dales pass by.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06Hopefully, one day,

0:11:06 > 0:11:11this type of programme can be shown as prime time viewing on BBC One.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15But, for some, shots that lingered on the driver for slightly too long

0:11:15 > 0:11:17spoiled the view...

0:11:17 > 0:11:20The shots of him interacting with the passengers were fine.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24But just watching him for two or three minutes at a time

0:11:24 > 0:11:28sitting at the wheel was less interesting than watching paint dry.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31..while some of you just felt distinctively short-changed.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Moving at a less leisurely pace,

0:11:46 > 0:11:48but with just as many twists and turns

0:11:48 > 0:11:50as a road trip through the Dales

0:11:50 > 0:11:53was the award-winning Irish soap Red Rock,

0:11:53 > 0:11:57which finished its eight week daytime run on BBC One on Friday.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Set in a fictional seaside town in the shadows of Dublin,

0:12:00 > 0:12:04the show is centred around a busy police station,

0:12:04 > 0:12:07and follows the lives and dramas of the local community.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10No!

0:12:10 > 0:12:11CRYING

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Billy.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Billy, talk to me! No!

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Billy! No!

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Ambulance, where's an ambulance?

0:12:20 > 0:12:22It's been a hit with you.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26The actors and actresses are absolutely superb.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27The storylines are great,

0:12:27 > 0:12:29and there's always something to keep you intrigued

0:12:29 > 0:12:31and on the edge of your seat.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33The scenery has been superb,

0:12:33 > 0:12:36the acting and the storylines have been splendid,

0:12:36 > 0:12:38completely throwing stereotypes of soap operas.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41It really has been a cop drama not to miss.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Well, good news for Naomi,

0:12:46 > 0:12:49and everyone else who got in touch with the same question.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53We can confirm the BBC has snapped up the rights to Series Two

0:12:53 > 0:12:57of Red Rock, and it will be back on our screens next year.

0:12:57 > 0:12:58That's it for this week,

0:12:58 > 0:13:01but whether it's to praise or pan tonight's Poldark

0:13:01 > 0:13:04or critique tomorrow's Crimewatch,
