BBC 2

BBC2 is the sister station to the main BBC1 station and just like the Beeb it is funded by licence fee payers. For me BBC2 is all about comedy as it has some excellent shows many of which have gone across to the main channel, it also carries some sport as well and does tend to show some of the less popular sports such as snooker and tonight following on from the huge success at the Olympics there is World Championship cycling being shown. It is the comedy though that for me is the real plus point of the channel as it was responsble for the launch of The Office an also the spin off Extras while it was also where shows like Have I Got News for You started.

BBC2 is the second of the two state financed terrestial channels that has existed for many years and has stood up well to the competition provided in the multi channel digital age. The channel is fully funded from tax payers money in the form of a licence fee which is paid annually to the BBC to fund all of their activities, as such the channel does not carry any advertising which is a big bonus. It is hard to really identify what role BBC2 plays in the scheduling, it is a bit of a mixed bag and is sometimes used as a home for shows that do not have a wide enough appeal to be on the main BBC1 channel. Where it does have a strong niche is in the ...  Read the complete review

BBC 2 is the 'funny brother' of BBC 1 and I like its shows much more than BBC 1. Many of the shows are hilarious and much more funny than those on SKY and going by the fact you get it free on freeview that's saying something.

In my opinion this is one of the funniest channels on the television and is definatly worth watching. An example of its peak is probably when it showed the sketch show 'little Britain' which was a huge ...  Read the complete review

BBC is the second channel offered by the BBC and offers viewers a mix of documentary's, comedy and drama. The channel was the british home for the Simpsons for several years before their move to channel 4 and since then BBC 2 has struggled to find the same continously drawing programming to get people watching the channel. BBC 2 is often used as the testing ground for new British comedy with series such as The Office starting out their life on the channel. BBC 3 however has now taken on that mantle and left BBC 2 fairly redundant in that respect. It is still the undisputed home of Snooker however which saves the channel with the World Championships every year. Quiz shows ...  Read the complete review

BBC 2 here is a sample nights veiwing Feb 14th had one of my Favourites *Bill Oddie* With his talent for a birds eye view of the country (spot the accidental joke*:) Not only does He share his moments with different birds ,He notices the flowers and greenery ,if not by comment with His camera . A recent program had him on a hoist up a tree looking at Herons,He had to wait for the camera man to get Him down it was amusing with unique footage. He also went to a private Home in one program to show that there are some parrots in that area London to be precise. His gentle and knowledgable ways make this a very relaxing program to watch. ...  Read the complete review
