0:00:02 > 0:00:05This week, your thoughts on a tribute to a much-loved former presenter of this very show.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10And the change to a channel that's been causing havoc in some households.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Welcome to your Points Of View.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26First up this week, the Strictly Dance Off that was called off.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29And you are not impressed with what happened as a result.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Millions tuned in last Sunday to see the first of this year's Strictly
0:00:35 > 0:00:38celebs waltz off the dance floor for good.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42But it didn't happen in typical Strictly fashion.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44After sustaining an injury while training,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48singer Anastacia was unable to take part in the usual Dance Off for the
0:00:48 > 0:00:50bottom-placed couples.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Here's what happened next.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55I can reveal that the couple with the fewest viewer votes,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and therefore out of the competition is...
0:01:00 > 0:01:01It's Melvin and Jeanette.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02AUDIENCE: Aw!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07There were cries of "foul" and howls of injustice
0:01:07 > 0:01:09as Strictly fans felt it was Anastacia
0:01:09 > 0:01:12who should have sashayed her way off the show.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28It was just so wrong to bring it down to the fewest votes by viewers.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I just don't feel that it was fair
0:01:30 > 0:01:32and I feel very, very unhappy about it.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36There was discord in households and even talk of legal proceedings.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55That would be a busy institution.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Well, after Melvin's exit caused a hoo-ha hotter than a steamy samba,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Strictly issued the following statement.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Well done, you.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25OK.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30On BBC Two last Saturday night,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33a series of programmes that caused pure delight.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37It was an evening of poetry in all shapes and guises
0:02:37 > 0:02:41which, it appeared, contained pleasant surprises.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Very happy with that.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Kicking off an initiative that sees BBC Two dedicate Saturday nights to
0:02:49 > 0:02:51all things art,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54last weekend saw the channel celebrate British poetry with
0:02:54 > 0:02:56an evening of themed programmes.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Performance Live, hosted by Kate Tempest, included her work
0:02:59 > 0:03:04Let Them Eat Chaos, which fused hip-hop, poetry and theatre.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07# Overflowing plant pots, fence post, decorated door numbers,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10# Motorbike, beneath a tarp, beaten up Punto... #
0:03:10 > 0:03:11There were rave reviews,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14firstly for Performance Live itself.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25But also for the channel's decision
0:03:25 > 0:03:28to dedicate a whole evening to the subject of verse.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42It was perhaps, though,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46the poetic programme that preceded Performance Live
0:03:46 > 0:03:48which garnered the warmest reception of the night.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Railway Nation: A Journey In Verse
0:03:54 > 0:03:57paid homage to WH Auden's famous Night Mail film,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00as, 80 years later, six poets climbed aboard
0:04:00 > 0:04:01the West Coast Main Line
0:04:01 > 0:04:04to capture stories of its travellers in verse.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07'Forward, like its motto.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12'Beyond New Street's shining cathedral of rail.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15'Its concretes and its tunnels.'
0:04:15 > 0:04:19This was one journey you'd have been happy to see last longer than scheduled.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Staying along similar LINES,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43BBC Four has also been jumping aboard the railway show bandwagon recently.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49In the channel's new series Railways: The Making Of A Nation,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51social historian Liz McIvor explores
0:04:51 > 0:04:55how the growth of our rail network sparked a social revolution.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59BBC One viewers in England got to see one episode from the series
0:04:59 > 0:05:03the Wednesday before last, with different episodes being shown in different regions.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06But viewers in the south-east region,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09hoping to hear how the railways changed our commute,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12were left struggling to hear, well, anything at all.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15'Britain bursting with energy and confidence.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20'Railways have transformed virtually everything.'
0:05:20 > 0:05:23The excellent interviewer was, erm...
0:05:23 > 0:05:28very difficult to understand, because it was continually overlaid
0:05:28 > 0:05:30with awful music, screaming violins.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh, that's better!
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Oh.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Well, hold the front page, we have an apology.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22You can catch, and hopefully hear,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24the rest of the series on Thursday nights on BBC Four.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Panorama this week investigated a disease which now affects
0:06:28 > 0:06:31around four million people in the UK.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34As a growing number of us are diagnosed with Type Two diabetes,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Monday night's Diabetes: The Hidden Killer reported from the front line
0:06:38 > 0:06:40of the epidemic in Birmingham.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Hearing from doctors and patients,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46the programme revealed how the condition's now even affecting children,
0:06:46 > 0:06:47like 15-year-old Amir.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52If we carry on like this at 15, by the time he hits 25,
0:06:52 > 0:06:53you'll get eye damage
0:06:53 > 0:06:56and you've already had gout and stuff in your feet as well.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58And you will get these other bits of damage.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Although the programme was focused on Type Two diabetes,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06it was this reference to the Type One condition that had you getting in touch.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09'Type One diabetes, the sort you are born with,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12'accounts for just a tenth of cases.'
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That line, you felt was simply inaccurate.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39The charity Diabetes UK told us
0:07:39 > 0:07:44as there isn't enough research to determine the exact cause of Type One diabetes,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48it was factually incorrect to claim it's the type you are born with.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52We put that and your comments to the Editor of Panorama, Rachel Jupp.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54And here's what she had to say in response.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58When we are reporting on issues of such public importance,
0:07:58 > 0:07:59it's vital we get the facts right.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03We worked closely with medical charities and doctors on the programme.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07But the line referring to Type One diabetes wasn't a medically accurate
0:08:07 > 0:08:09description and we shouldn't have said it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Although Type One commonly develops in childhood,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14it can in fact develop at any age.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18It results from immune mediated injury to the pancreas and it's not
0:08:18 > 0:08:20yet known what can trigger that.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Next week marks six months since one of the BBC channels for children
0:08:25 > 0:08:27began broadcasting two hours later every night.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Previously going off air each evening at 7pm,
0:08:34 > 0:08:38since April this year, CBBC, home to younger viewers' favourites
0:08:38 > 0:08:40like Danger Mouse and Horrible Histories,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44has instead been broadcasting until 9pm every night.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48But that change in schedule hasn't gone down well with some of you.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Neil Strawson went to hear how the channel's change in hours has affected one household.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17So, Steve, can you tell me about the impact of this change on your family?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19We knew where we were before,
0:09:19 > 0:09:227pm was great because it was a marker point in the evening.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26But now things are so much different. Because it's 9pm,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28we're now all over the place.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- 'Midnight and way past my bedtime.' - A YAWN
0:09:31 > 0:09:33What about your child's view on this change?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We do have the odd little...
0:09:35 > 0:09:38It's not a battle, but it's, "Come on, it's time for bed."
0:09:38 > 0:09:42And it can drag on a bit and you just think, "Oh, for goodness' sake.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45"If it finished at 7pm, we all knew where we were".
0:09:45 > 0:09:46How is it bedtime already?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Do you think that would have happened if CBBC had kept to the 7pm deadline?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I don't think so, because it's introducing that later viewings.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Go to sleep.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02School is very intense for kids now. There's high expectations with exams.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07I don't want a child going to school being tired or irritable,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10or becoming unwell because they're run down.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12You know, I've come to a conclusion about all this.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16If you had the opportunity to say one thing to the producers at CBBC,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18what would you say?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I'd just say it is changing the dynamics of the family unit.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26It's affecting the evening adult time.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Now it's a battle, because the children feel
0:10:30 > 0:10:33that they are entitled to watch television until 9pm.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36And I really, really do feel they've made a big mistake in this.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Well, we put Stephen's view
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and the others that we heard to CBBC.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47And here's what the channel's controller, Cheryl Taylor,
0:10:47 > 0:10:48had to say.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13And finally this week,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16a tribute to a much-loved broadcaster
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and a very cherished colleague here, Sir Terry Wogan.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Look at that, every move a poem.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Last Friday night, BBC One remembered the velvety-voiced veteran
0:11:26 > 0:11:30with a star-studded show, celebrating his 50 years at the BBC.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I always used to think with his voice that
0:11:33 > 0:11:36you didn't really need to hear what he was saying.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It was just the music of his voice.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40TERRY HUMS
0:11:40 > 0:11:43No, no, will you talk amongst yourselves, listeners, for just a moment? And I'll see
0:11:43 > 0:11:47if I can get this on the other turntable. That's the only one that's working at the moment.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06Of course, Sir Tel was the custodian of this very programme between 1999 and 2007,
0:12:06 > 0:12:11when he brought his own brand of unique Wogan wit and wasn't afraid
0:12:11 > 0:12:13to stick it to Auntie Beeb.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Well, Points Of View has chased the BBC's commissioners up and down the
0:12:17 > 0:12:20blood-bolted corridors of the Corporation for an answer.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21And the answer is...
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Wait and see.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Much missed, great broadcaster, but genuinely such a gentleman.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30That's quite enough of that.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32That's all for this week, I'm afraid.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36But whether you feel tomorrow's The Victorian Slum is superb
0:12:36 > 0:12:39or Wednesday night's The Missing misses the mark,

0:13:05 > 0:13:06DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Fair point, Miriam.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Producer, take heed.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30I like it!
