They just announced they are axing Working Lunch, the link for which I Googled and couldn't find as a BBC News link (so much for balanced), which they also concede has a core audience of retired folks, currently at around 300,000.
Well, I also watch Working Lunch, and I have to admit not as much as I should BUT, frankly it is an interesting and well constructed program, which features articles in an accessible and concise way that I don't see anywhere else, and has a format that welcomes its viewers into the parlour.
So why should we have to watch a channel of predominantly journalistic content and all its current day banality and patronising presentation, when what we really want is an information program away from the journo-packaged conveyor belt that presents itself as an interest program, WORKING LUNCH!
Is this yet again the ongoing (denied) BBC policy of trimming off the quartiles to bland in, sorry, blend in the programming to suit a notional interquartile age and interest range?
And what about the unemployed entrepreneur, or the lunchtime tv at work?
