BBC making £34m investment in children's services

Could it also work the other way? Certain features in programmes peculiar to Britain that could cause confusion or other problems if the programmes were exported to foreign countries?

Most countries that use 999 stuck with it after independence from British rule and of course 112 works in the whole of Europe now since 2002.

If you're dubbing languages for a country that natively doesn't speak English the issue sort of takes care of itself I would have thought.

I believe calling 112 in America doesn't automatically redivert to 911 and the same may apply to 999.

I think all Tv in future will be online channels only and there will be no live Tv channels which is a shame because I like to record things but the new sky and virgin boxes won't let you record on to DVD and you can't use sling boxes as fair has I no

Shouldn't all CBBC content be getting zero viewers during the (school) day.

An episode gets very few viewers when it's target audience aren't available to watch it shocker.

Illness.
Truancy.
School holidays / teacher training days / unscheduled closure, such as if it snows or something.
Possible chance of live streaming during break time or dinner time or (rarely I'd have thought) live viewing.

The Daily Mail article says:



And as BARB boxes only feature in about 5000 homes anyway it's plausible some of them will be in childless homes. These days with on-live streaming and catch-up it's pretty hard for a programme save for maybe pre-school programmes at like 2am to register literally zero viewership as in no viewership, no timeshifting and no on-demand.

As it's a representative sample of households some of them will definitely be in childless homes

Apparently, since last year 911 does work in the uk (including landlines) because people were ringing it, thinking it was the correct number.

Not that I'm going to try it out, but I'm pretty sure that it's just some phone providers rather than being a standard.

Mobiles (pre touch screen) have unlocked their touchpad with 911 as well as 999 and 112 for years but that's mainly because they're made for more than one market

I think so too. I think it's only 112 (along with 999 of course) that is a standard, it's an EU thing

Not only plausible - but surely a certainty. BARB need a statistically representative group of UK households, so will almost certainly include single people, childless couples, OAPs who don't have grandchildren living with them etc. on their panel.

It's the GSM standard too
