Snafu – I was not recommending those dramas, merely pointing out that ITV has made and still makes high quality programmes. If you don’t like period drama, however you define it, then there will be as much not to watch on the BBC.
Not much at all, other than cookery shows, game shows, fly on the wall documentary’s, programme’s that show us how to do up our houses if we have lots of money and the like.
I end up listening to the radio, reading, walking the wife and kids, that sort of thing. But I feel there is something in that list you provided: much of the content was of a targeted sort, lets say upper middle class and the aspiring lower orders. The rest of us – if we weren’t listening to the radio, reading, etc – are forced to look elsewhere for our televised entertainment. The (for want of a better term) nostalgia channels are fine if you enjoy old editions of QI, etc, and the documentary channels will entertain you if you want to view sharks or Nazis. I am assured that there are even sports channels for those who enjoy that sort of thing.
Some might end up down the pub, but I shall end up losing at Monopoly to the kids. Again.
