BBC 2 Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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. You'll find many clssic comedies on this great channel including, 'Never mind the Buzzcocks', 'Top Gear' and 'Mock the ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

A recent program had him on a hoist ...  Read the complete review

If you ask me, BBC 2 shows about 3 hours and 45 minutes of good programming a week, with The Simpsons, which is always repeats and never seems to be a new episode, so is not to everyone's liking, and The Fresh Prince of Belair, which is VERY old stuff or Top Of the Pops 2 which is no longer that good. Of course, their is about an hour ...  Read the complete review

According to the British Crime Survey, in 1999, only 26% of reported racially motivated incidents were committed against ethnic minorities. There were 150,000 reported racially motivated incidents, of which 39,000 were racist incidents against ethnic minorities and 111,000 were racist incidents against whites. In fact there were 192% more ...  Read the complete review

They say the BBC is dumbing down, boy are they right!.Get this, a TV chef on Question Time!.The channels flagship serious news and current affairs program has told Tony Benn hes no longer required as the Chefs are on contract and bloody cheap like their stupid comment. I though the people who didn?t have sensible answers and wanted to know ...  Read the complete review

Some things need to be got off ones chest. As there is no sub-category for Masters of Combat, I beg the pardon of this BBC opinion category, but this is the venue for my despair. Here we go,.... In this new and dangerous world we should be asking whether we should be peddling real violence as entertainment. Fortunately, Masters of ...  Read the complete review

What a great T.V show this is…It follows the life of an Upcoming gangster Called Paul Clark. He is finding it difficult to brake into the big league of being a Gangster. If you can remember that far back then you might remember Only Fools and Horses at the beginning no one liked the show but it pulled through and is no a very popular ...  Read the complete review

I think BBC two has a good range of programmes. Granted I do not watch all the programmes, in fact I only watch a small percentage. But I do think there is something for everybody. I personally like the shows aimed at the younger audience such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Rosewell High. I know that my Brother watches robot wars, my Mum watches ...  Read the complete review

*This is not strictly about BBC2 in general rather Comedy Nights on Mondays.* After seeing an advert about Monday 9:00pm being the start of BBC2's comedy night I thought why not, I could do with a laugh. This was the worst decision ever. On BBC2 at 9:00 was the most abysmal program I have ever seen, if I ever meet the ...  Read the complete review

I usually watch BBC2 from 6 pm onwards on weekdays, but due to sports coverage and uninteresting Gaelic programmes, some of the best programmes often have their schedule messed up. A common example is "Star Trek". Any version - the original one, Voyager, DS9... You name it. Whenever some dull people want to go play a game of cricket, ...  Read the complete review

I am a student studying software engineering. This takes up quite a bit of my life, both the studying and the socials. And so it happens that 9 times out of 10 I miss the evening news, or even the late news. Also, with so many cult programs on BBC2 (I'm am perhaps a little too fond of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and their teenage horror ...  Read the complete review

i watch BBC2 way more than BBC1, it has cooler programs, like louis theroux's weird weekends, and the simpsons (of course), cooler logo's (2 in the bath, 2 in the fridge, 2 falling in a big pile of coccaine...er.. dust i mean). The whole channel feels younger, and fresher, less tied to humdrum schedule clogging things like soap ...  Read the complete review

When I started writing this it was just gone half past seven, on a Thursday evening. And those of you in the know that Buffy the vampire Slayer has just finished on BBC 2, and what a treat it has been to sit uninterrupted for 45 minutes to watch this quality show. It was nice of them to show it. Because, shock horror, they seem to treat this ...  Read the complete review

"You can catch the next episode of [insert your favourite programme here] in three weeks time, due to coverage of the snooker!" This is a line that gets spoken far too often on BBC2. While some people may say, "Oh great, I get to watch snooker instead of those silly sci-fi programmes", I am often left with a desire to ...  Read the complete review

There are many fine shows shown on BBC2, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Simpsons just to name a few, but it would be nice to be able to see the new episodes. Its not that I don't like the repeats, I always enjoy the programmes, but the same episodes every month tend to make them a little tedious. Sky continually shows the new ...  Read the complete review

BBC 2 is often far better than BBC 1 in the types of programs it shows for my taste. I tend to enjoy science fiction programs and BBC 2 seems to have by far the best coverage of this type of program, however it isn't perfect. Like another reviewer said, BBC 2 seems to interupt schedules for any type of sport, whether this is ...  Read the complete review

BBC2 used to have its own programmes but now it just shows old stuff from BBC1. That is not strictly true. It does show snooker quite often and skiing. You even get the news but this is presented as an 'after thought' (the best being shown on BBC1). It seems that BBC2 is made up of a large percentage of programmes from ...  Read the complete review
