As I have been off work I've been watching daytime Tv. It is abysmal. Particularly BBC1. This is what I would use:
BBC1

6.00am - 9.00am BREAKFAST
9.00 - 9.30 Quiz (something Lighthearted like Wipeout )
9.30 - 10.00 Daily Classic Sitcom (there's loads to choose from)
10.00 Diagnosis Murder/Murder She Wrote
10.45 BBC Mid-Morning News
11.00 City Hospital/House Invaders or such like
11.30 Bargain Hunt/Cash in Attic/Car Booty
12.00 Quiz (something Like Call My Bluff)
12.30 Passport to The Sun (or something similar)
1.00 One O Clock News
1.30 Regional News
1.45 Afternoon Plus (A new chat/entertainment show)
2.35 Neighbours
3.00 Doctors
3.30 BBC News Headlines
3.35 Classic Afternoon Sitcom
4.05 American Drama Series*
4.50 The Weakest Link
5.35 Neighbours

* The American Crime series could be any of the following: Due South, Monk, Father Dowling Investigates, Cagney and Lacey, Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing or anything like that.

BBC2

6.00am - 9.00am CBeebies/Cbbc
9.00am Flog It!
10.00 Schools
12.00 CBeebies
12.30 Business Lunch
1.15 CBeebies
1.45 Schools
2.30 To Buy Or Not To Buy/Homes Under The Hammer
3.15 Ready Steady Cook
4.00 - 6.00 CBBC

ITV is OK until after the news!

God knows what could be done with ITV1 from 1.30pm.
Perhaps this:

1.30 Australian Soap or similar
2.00 Quiz
2.30 Loose Women
3.15 ITV News
3.30 CITV
5.00 The Paul O'Grady Show/Des and Mel

What do others think?

well I think we can do without 2 eposode of point of view & crimewatch a day! it well be mostly about the state of how bad the show are and how it daylight robbary hwo there waste our money)

I can't see bbc procduing over 6 hours ADAY for school TV
but there do show alot of schools tv on CBBC channel.
Cbbc hasn't got anything good to fill up the slots for over 3 hours!

cut out the repeats(plus reduce the schools) and it might just WORK!!!!!

I'd like to see them repeat Crazy Like A Fox for the 2.30 slot. I'd love to see it again. Ditch City Hospital, bring back Open Air for 11.00 and have a new Daytime Live type show at 12.00.

I repeat while Lorna Spicer remains I refuse to watch. She's almost single handedly as bad ITV Day and that takes a team of hundreds to make me avoid that.

Daytime TV is truly awful of late. I beleive a fresh, radical approach to programmings whats needed. Not Car Booty!
