I’d agree that 1x27 long form documentary would be better than Inside Out (though one series of Inside Out and one series of long form per year would be good too).
It’s the cutting of the regions for this new series that bothers me. BBC South is already a massive patch (equivalent to the population of Scotland). I assume we are being lumped in with London, and presumably the South East too. That’s a ridiculously unwieldy region. Yet Norwich continues to produce output for its unchanged region? How is that equitable?
The loss of a current affairs team in Southampton means it will no longer be able to produce one-off documentaries and its occasional series, or produce Panorama as it has in the past. Dark days for regional broadcasting.
