Its like a cross between TV Burp and that Fox programme on 6 years ago which looked at radom and odd sky channels.

I did think twice about correct my mistake when I wrote "it had its moment". The second half was better than the first, but ultimately it's another type of show Youtube folk can do better.
It was bloody awful. Can't quite believe Dara's put his name to it.

At least a Youtuber would have
tried
to remove a BBC Four DOG (and they'd have the excuse of not having access to the BBC archive for the footage they wanted).

Saw this on Twitter:
(1/2) For those asking, I've never heard of @BBC2's #incaseyoumissedit, but for the record....

(2/3) ..when we offered @BBCRadio4 #ListenAgainst to TV they said no. Then they said, 'what about Dara o'Briain, rather than @alicearnold1'?

(3/3) ... we said no. So apparently turns out they've just tried it anyway. Thanks, BBC.

@alicearnold1 I'm no expert on intellectual copyright, but I'm being advised we have a genuine legal query @BBCTwo @BBCRadio4

This wouldn't be the first time such issues have arissen, as Private Eye has recently reported on a couple incidences.

On a similar note, if you ever get a chance to talk to Robin Ince, ask him about Science Club, featuring one Dara O'Briain. Ince had been pitching a similar kind of show for years off the back of his work with science educators and with the Skeptics movement. He wasn't happy with Dara got the gig with that format, although it was a few years back when I spoke to him so maybe he's mellowed about it by now.
Let's be clear: I've nothing against O'Briain, he's brilliant, but he does seem to be a favourite among some execs.

I think they added it, rather than tried to remove one that was already there.
I assume this was a pilot. It was rubbish.
