One piece of top-notch quality that did make it onto BBC3 - purely by fluke, one imagines, and a show that almost certainly wouldn't get commissioned by the market research obsessed channel now - was Drop Dead Gorgeous, which won best comedy drama. Brilliantly written, funny, sharp, tender, a bit bonkers and criminally underrated, it's one of the best dramas of recent years and deserves to be garlanded with more accolades - or at least a bit of recognition. Personally, I'd give it a primetime repeat on BBC1. At the very least it deserves to be available on DVD. It isn't currently and that, my friends, is a travesty.
