Advantages: Some good new progs...

Disadvantages: Which repeat before you've had time to blink

Excellent if you have short term memory loss.

Available on digital, I really think this channel will improve as more people start to watch it and the BBC pump more of our licence fee money into it. At the moment, the great majority of the programmes are CBBC ones, which are repeated twice in the day. This is great if you have children to keep occupied, but can be a bit frustrating when you are desperate for something to watch. In the evening, there are mainly repeats of shows first shown on BBC1 - Eastenders, A Many Splintered Thing. Good if you missed it the first time around - but not exactly inspiring. There are a few ‘original’ programmes - Hotlinks and Liquid News are worth a watch. Let’s hope it improves!

My main problem is that they tend to repeat things almost immediately e.g. Hotlinks, followed by Hotlinks. What is the point in that. A Little Later, Hotlinks, A Little Later. Again, if you watched it half an hour ago, it’s unlikely you will want to see it again. Mix it up a little bit.
