0:00:02 > 0:00:05You've found us! The week they moved your favourite show to BBC Two -
0:00:05 > 0:00:09um, this one - you have had the BBC schedulers in your sights.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12There's the drama series repeated in reverse,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16the new run of a daytime show randomly interrupted by repeats
0:00:16 > 0:00:20and the gardening series that is frequently being buried.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24We've got the schedulers' responses for you and more this week.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Welcome to your Points Of View.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Before those scheduling shenanigans,
0:00:39 > 0:00:44we'll start with BBC One's big new hope for Saturday-night success.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Michael McIntyre's Big Show has the stand-up comedian
0:00:51 > 0:00:54taking to the stage at London's Theatre Royal,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58blending celebrity guests, performances and surprises
0:00:58 > 0:01:02for unsuspecting members of the public in a family-friendly format.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We can now go live to your house.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Oh, shut up!
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Oh, my God!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13They've changed the whole house into a football pitch!
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Oh, what?! Get off the furniture, Lucy!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20After nearly five million of you saw the curtain come down
0:01:20 > 0:01:23on last week's episode, the reviews are in,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and they are decidedly mixed.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40A true breath of fresh air for a Saturday night,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43variety entertainment like we used to have.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48We need more of this. Not more game shows, not more dramas,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51more variety - more singers,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54comedians, dancers, acrobats, whatever.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Bring it on.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Over on the other side of the house, however:
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Michael McIntyre is another star with a big show on BBC One.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Unfortunately, it's just as bad as his last attempt.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16He's only comfortable when telling a joke on stage and
0:02:16 > 0:02:18highly uncomfortable when talking to guests.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20So the jury may still be out on that one.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26The verdict is in, however,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30on the US courtroom drama The People V OJ Simpson,
0:02:30 > 0:02:35which reached its climax on Monday night on BBC Two.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Starring Cuba Gooding Jr as OJ,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39the ten-part series uncovered the wheeling
0:02:39 > 0:02:43and dealing carried out on both sides of the legal divide
0:02:43 > 0:02:46in the murder case that gripped America.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47We, the jury,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50in the above-entitled action find the defendant
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Orenj...Orenthal James Simpson...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55..not guilty.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57On this one, there was no reasonable doubt.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16If the finale left you thirsting for more, you could be in luck.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Press reports earlier this year
0:03:17 > 0:03:21revealed a second series of American Crime Story is in development,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25this time focusing on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Today, that's a good thing!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Next, the daytime series appearing out of order,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33leaving you frustrated and perplexed.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Series three of the Australian crime drama The Doctor Blake Mysteries
0:03:40 > 0:03:42appeared on screen towards the end of last year.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I'm sure there may well be days where it's all a bit...
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Confusing?- Yes.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54But for you, the real mystery is why series two of the show was
0:03:54 > 0:03:58then repeated before series one was trotted out again.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Also causing confusion, Money For Nothing, the show that sees
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Sarah Moore transform previously discarded items.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Two weeks ago, a new series began on BBC One,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27only to be interrupted by repeats!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30It's all back to front! I'm all confused.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53So, is there method behind what seems like a little bit
0:04:53 > 0:04:54of BBC madness?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Here is what the Head of Daytime Scheduling had to say
0:04:57 > 0:04:59on The Doctor Blake Mysteries.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Hm... OK, some kind of logic there, I guess.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Helen also revealed
0:05:19 > 0:05:23series four of Doctor Blake will be on your screen later in the year...
0:05:23 > 0:05:25perhaps followed by repeats in the right order.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29And on Money For Nothing, Helen had this to say:
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Helen also pointed out the most watched episode
0:05:44 > 0:05:47of Money For Nothing the week before last
0:05:47 > 0:05:49was actually one of the repeats.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53By a long shot, though, the biggest scheduling grumble this week
0:05:53 > 0:05:56has come from the green-fingered amongst you.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Two weeks ago,
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Gardeners' World disappeared from the schedules due to football
0:06:03 > 0:06:05and this Friday is off air once more,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08this time dropped into a side pocket by the snooker.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Whatever the reason,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14it's not working as it is, and I need to think about moving it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Yet again, Gardeners' World is taken off air
0:06:17 > 0:06:21so that we can look at a sporting event, this time snooker.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24It's already had about 35 hours' worth of TV time,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26but obviously that's not enough.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Is it because the programme is thought to be for the golden oldies
0:06:30 > 0:06:32by the young whizz kids upstairs
0:06:32 > 0:06:36and they feel it can be bumped as and when the wind takes them?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37I'm a sports fan myself,
0:06:37 > 0:06:43so I really appreciate that sport is being shown on the BBC,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45but at this busy time of year for gardeners,
0:06:45 > 0:06:49surely it's important to find a different slot for Gardeners' World.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54More than 4,000 of you have downed your trowels in disgust
0:06:54 > 0:06:58to sign an online petition demanding the show has a weekly presence.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Don Cameron is the man in charge of schedules at BBC Two,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05and he told us we'd been in touch about the same issue
0:07:05 > 0:07:08on his first day in the job four years ago.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10So that is what you call a hardy perennial.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30The problem at the heart of this
0:07:30 > 0:07:33are the sports contracts which insist on live coverage,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37and Don tells us there are just as many complaints from sports fans
0:07:37 > 0:07:41frustrated the BBC doesn't show every minute of every match.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Some good news, though.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Apparently, the show will only be bumped four times this year,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52an improvement on last year.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04The joys of caravanning next. Did you see this programme?
0:08:04 > 0:08:10Wednesday night had Caravanner Of The Year pitch up on BBC Two.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12The first of two episodes followed
0:08:12 > 0:08:15the Caravan Club chairman, Grenville, and his fellow judges
0:08:15 > 0:08:18as they put six semifinalist couples
0:08:18 > 0:08:20through their paces assembling an awning,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23reversing round a roundabout and preening
0:08:23 > 0:08:27and polishing prior to a concours d'elegance
0:08:27 > 0:08:30in the organisation's inaugural competition.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Eight feet. - That must be it, surely.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- OK. - SHE SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION
0:08:38 > 0:08:44- I feel like crying!- Brilliant!- I've been so frightened of driving it.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47But was the show fit for the road?
0:08:47 > 0:08:53We parked up with some caravanners in Blackpool to get their thoughts.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- My name's Anita.- And my name's Tony.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I'm Gordon. This is my brother, Brian.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02My name is Jimmy. This is my grandson, David.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05'The programme was very, very good. I enjoyed it.'
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Parts of it were all right. - On the whole, it was very good.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I think it would only be of interest to caravanners.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14There was bits towards the end that was a bit boring.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Some of it, I thought it was...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I don't know, it was a bit like
0:09:18 > 0:09:21a Carry On movie in some aspects of it.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22We have an erection!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Hopefully.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28We just weren't too happy with the chairman on the obsessiveness
0:09:28 > 0:09:30with the cleaning.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35One of the areas that people always forget to clean is under the lid.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36'You're away on holiday.'
0:09:36 > 0:09:39You clean it before you go and you clean it when you get home!
0:09:39 > 0:09:42The funniest moment, I thought, was when the chairman
0:09:42 > 0:09:44of the Caravan Club was going up
0:09:44 > 0:09:47a hill with what was supposedly a 4x4 car and caravan.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52'He got the front end of the car over, but then he starts spinning!'
0:09:52 > 0:09:54That's the chairman of the Caravan Club!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56ALARM BEEPS
0:09:56 > 0:09:57I think I'm in trouble.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Oh,- BLEEP.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I'm glad it weren't my caravan he were driving, anyway!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06This was more to the extreme caravanners.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10It showed caravanners and... you know, how they really are.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15I think there's enough diversity in the programme for everybody.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18'I'll be watching the final next week, just out of curiosity.'
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Just to see what more silliness they actually do.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26You can find out who's crowned king and queen of the caravan world
0:10:26 > 0:10:29on Wednesday at 8pm on BBC Two.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32On a very different mission on Monday night,
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Ben Miller in BBC One's new romcom I Want My Wife Back.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39This week's scene setter saw Miller's character, Murray,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42plan a surprise birthday bash for his beloved wife,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45only to discover she'd decided to leave him.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47After efforts to cancel the party failed,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50awkward moments were in abundance.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Yes, a toast! Everyone, please,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56raise your glasses to the beautiful Bex and the changing Murray!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- ALL:- To Bex...
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- The changing Murray. Yes. - ALL:- Changing Murray...
0:11:01 > 0:11:05While some of you were toasting the cast on a job well done...
0:11:17 > 0:11:21..others felt the fizz had gone flat on an idea you'd seen before.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41It's almost as if they were watching different shows.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Opening hours over on BBC Two this week for another new series.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Dave Myers and Si King hit the road on Monday to unearth the history
0:11:53 > 0:11:55hidden in Britain's watering holes
0:11:55 > 0:11:59in The Hairy Bikers' Pubs That Built Britain.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Sounds like a good gig.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02We're off to the pub for a swift half.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07- Are we?- Aye! That's what soldiers did before a battle. Dutch courage.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Oh, aye, I can't say I blame them. Can you?- No!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11For some, the combination of Britain's boozers,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15a bit of history and those charming chefs was the perfect recipe.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20The Hairy Bikers are in their element romping about in pubs
0:12:20 > 0:12:22and showing us history is fun.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Pity no cooking, but we can't have it all.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28But you were split on this one, as well,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32with others feeling the shows were spoilt by a simplistic approach
0:12:32 > 0:12:35to history and by the Hairy Bikers themselves.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48What we've been given is probably the worst programme
0:12:48 > 0:12:51that BBC Two has ever broadcast.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52The Hairy Bikers -
0:12:52 > 0:12:55and what a puerile name that is, for a start -
0:12:55 > 0:12:58are so infantile in their presentation
0:12:58 > 0:13:01that the rest of the series should be binned at once.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04This is the ultimate in dumbing down.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05That's it for this week.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Please keep your thoughts on the week's TV coming.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11You can send us a video message very easily. We love that.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Do it through our website.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Or drop us a line by e-mail:
0:13:19 > 0:13:21You can tweet us on social media:
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Or you can join in the discussion about what you've loved
0:13:26 > 0:13:28and loathed on our Facebook page:
0:13:28 > 0:13:32We're back on BBC One next Sunday. You'll find us there at 3.45pm.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Meanwhile, goodbye.
