IF BBC continues to add 90mins worth of new content per day there will be no cut, but I get the feeling it will just be one new show since half of the new content is already moving to other bbc channels.

I agree - but because the BBC has more money for the channel now its gone online, the quality should be good, after all they wouldn't allow BBC One to broadcast anything bad. Still, half an hour a day is pretty decent. Looking forward to the "refresh". Smile

Hang on a sec ... what do you mean "now its gone online"? BBC Three is still a standard linear broadcast channel. The proposals to make the channel into an online only service haven't even been agreed yet by the BBC Trust, let alone finalised.


If you've seen a future where BBC Three has actually become relegated to being available online only, can I borrow your TARDIS?

Doesn't necessarily make it good. The Germans are more than happy to export Blue Nun.

I won't have you besmirching the good name of Blue Nun.

The point I was making that with a very subjective genre like comedy, one of the few metrics you can measure it on is viewership. It's hard to brand it objectively awful in the face of that level of popularity.

I'd agree if the programme is as successful as Mrs Brown's Boys which has the commercial success as well as the viewers in both the UK and Ireland to back it up, despite it's subjective comedy.

Khan is more like The Wright Way, with moderate success. I actually like the Khan character and his radio sketches, but the sitcom is dire.
