BBC 1 Reviews

In a world where corporate branding is all the rage, the BBC seems to have developed its own mutation of the concept: Corporate Blanding. In its continued bid to increase audience share, the foundations of this once great corporation are being eroded by the desire to compete. Hence, we are now served up such lukewarm fare as ‘Judge John ...  Read the complete review

I have long since thought thats it's about time the BBC abolished the licence fee and started to put adverts on the same as all their counterparts. the standard of programmes we are getting are getting worse god knows what they do with the billions of pounds they get off the public. It seems as if you can't go a day without repeat after ...  Read the complete review

What has happend to the telly at Xmas? Once upon a time classics like "The Wizard of Oz" and "Mary Poppins" delighted us, O how we would all enjoy the Queens speech and then there would be a run of Premier Movies. Not anymore the BBC put the licence Fee up each and every year but it still insists on showing the same repeated programs time and time ...  Read the complete review

I would like to watch the football. I want to watch the cricket. But I can’t because we don’t have cable or satellite television. Every week more and more sports coverage is being moved to satellite television. Not everyone has access to satellite television yet sporting events that we should all be able to watch, such as ...  Read the complete review

The main channel from the BBC seems to be losing the ratings war with the ITV. ITV, who have advertising on their channel whereas the BBC require a TV Licence to be paid for, have more of a budget than BBC and can therefore have a wider range of high quality programming such as dramas and sports. This does not mean that BBC One does not have ...  Read the complete review

I think BBC1 is a very good station that has kept it’s identity and also went with the times when digital stations came along. It still has a lot of the big sport events that the public don’t have to pay for which is brilliant news as there are still a lot of people who cannot afford SKY or Digital TV. It has superb ...  Read the complete review

Now, I am not as privileged as many people because I do not have Sky or Cable or anything like that. I only have the 5 bog standard channels. I think that BB1 is best one out of them all. It provides all round coverage of what people want to see. There is very good news coverage, local and worldwide. Great documentaries about all sorts of ...  Read the complete review

Great programmes on BBC One include Match of the Day, One Foot in the Grave(I hope they show repeats), The Royle Family, They think it's all Over, BBC's Sports Coverage in general, particularly of Football, Tennis and Athletics and much more. Combined with BBC 2, the Beeb is still providing lots of quality programming, and it still has no adverts. ...  Read the complete review

One of the great things about the BBC is that they don't show annoying adverts. Some people prefer having interruptions in a film, maybe to go get a snack but me, I hate it. To be honest I don't really watch BBC 1 anymore. I think its going downtrack, I mean ITV is taking away all its best programs such as Formula 1 and most sport. ITV ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be one of the best channels on TV- not including sky and digital. I really like to watch the programs such as superhuman, because I find them really interesting to watch. Walking with Dinosaurs was another brilliant series. Programmes such as Eastenders are based upon real life so I always watch them. Then Watchdog provides lots ...  Read the complete review

The BBC is one of the best channels available on terrestrial or the satellite tv. It provides the viewer with some top sporting action, but recently has lost some of these right to ITV like Formula one but still shows thing like the recent Olympics. Top soaps like Neighbours and Eastenders higher the viewers of the channel, as they ...  Read the complete review

why does the BBC insist on putting its best programmes on BBC2... i feel that the BBC is run by a lod of ald farts who wouldnt no good mid day television if it jumped up and bit them up in the ass... i believ such programmes as buffy the vampire slayer( staring sarah Michelle gellar)and the simpsons should be put on at a time most comvienent for ...  Read the complete review

Why should we pay a licence fee for second rate programming? The BBC seem to think that we should pay and give very little in return. The Sports on the BBC are only the left overs from Sky and ITV.Even these are spoilt by the presentation that the BBC give them. Take the present Rugby League World cup, Sky's coverage is very good with ...  Read the complete review

I think I will start by giving my opinion about their programmes. The BBC are loosing the plot with there choice of programmes to show, by this I mean that they have lost the best programmes are now trying to palm us off with rubbish. Recent examples are: Match of the day, One foot in the grave, Blackadder, and i am sure there is much ...  Read the complete review

The BBC has got a lot to prove seeming that the are one of the main reasons that we have to pay a TV licence. The BBC has lost lots of its sporting events over the past couple of years and all they seem to be producing at the moment are cheap quiz shows or dramas which are quite simply boring. The last straw for me was that the lost the rights to ...  Read the complete review

For £106 a year, the BBC has a very ordinary channel. Let me see does it have sport? No, the simple answer it couldn’t even keep the Match of the Day rights appalling. It hasn’t even got the cricket anymore. No rugby so no Super League. They do have Wimbledon, which comes on once a year, and the Olympics which come on every ...  Read the complete review

Supposedly the bastion of quality programming this channel has gone down hill in my opinion, over the last view years and while there are still the odd gems to be had, the staple diet is now soaps, chat shows and gameshows, don't they realise not everyone is interested in these types of programs? I personnally couldn't care aless what ...  Read the complete review

The BBC may have launched its new look 9pm line up with a blaze of publicity and hype, and I have to say that from what I've seen it does look good, but how long will it be before we get back to the same stuff as we had before, only at a different time?? One Foot In The Grave and The Royle Family are good, but they are only two shows ...  Read the complete review

The BBC is a great British institution – or so they say. The flagship channel is clearly BBC 1 and this is what the licence payer is paying for. The BBC has also been called the Blair Broadcasting Corporation and the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation because of their often biased interpretation of news and events relating to British politics ...  Read the complete review

The BBC used to be the pinnacle of television broadcasting and there used to be the old battle between them and ITV. The Beeb usually came out on top but there's been a third competitor who they've not seen coming up on the inside, Sky. ITV are no competition any more, literally the only thing I watch on ITV now is the Champions League ...  Read the complete review
