The BBC Trust has launched a website to "ensure the BBC is meeting the public's expectations by providing great TV, radio and online services for everyone in the UK."
Basically it's a bit of a chance to have a little rant at them if there's anything you're annoyed about, or there's something you want to see them start doing (more schemes for comedy writers for example?)... http://www.bbcyoursay.co.uk/
Replay classic comedy, not endless home/lifestyle shit.
Replaying classic comedy endlessly will only kill the medium. New shows won't get so much of a look in and the old stuff will become so over familiar in won't be liked (as much) any more.
In the 90s the repeats weren't at saturation which I think was about right. Now, I'm beginning to tire of certain shows purely because I've seen them so much.
The odd thing is that if do watch them I laugh but I'm less inclined to even turn the show on like I used to be.
Yeah, I'm certainly not advocating endless runs of Only Fools and flipping Horses. No point. Nor indeed endless runs of any specific show. There's decades of possible archives to raid (B&W vs colour argument aside).
I think what I'd like was a pot-luck channel which didn't publish it's listings but I'm sure that will never happen. Imagine a channel that was advertised with variations a theme as below:
12-2: 70s drama
2-4: 90s documentary
4-6: 70s entertainment
8-10: 60s comedy
10-12: 80s sport
...and have archive material played which could be anything. It would add an element of surprise to viewing which would be heightened by unexpected, long thought forgotten material
Oh dear shitting Christ, please not the last one. Please. No, just no.

No-one is asking you to watch every friggin' minute - it's just a way that everyone gets a slice of the pie
It was just an example in any case

They don't have to, he does anyway.
Yea man, BBC Canada is 80% home/style shows. I barely ever watch it because it sucks so bad.
This survey just seems to be about services for young people, and refers to the likes of BBC3, Radio 1 etc.

That's me cast aside, rejected, and on the scrap-heap then. 
FILM HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU IN BRISTOL!!!
That is all I have got to say to them.
But the BBC don't make Have I Got News For You, so it's useless telling them that. 
Anyway, there's an 18 age limit, so you wouldn't be allowed in. Boo hiss to them!
