I'm gonna miss the blobs.They're so cute. In some cases they are more entertaining than the programmes on 3,except for the Mighty Boosh.

Agreed.
I suppose that saying that the Daily Mail is bigoted etc, is about as unnecessary as pointing out that the Nazis were anti-Jewish. But let's not let that stop us! (See my signature...)

And then BBC1 nick them off BBC2.
I'm surprised Torchwood isn't having it's next episode premiering on BBC3 at 10pm.
Other nights of the week having EastEnders at 10pm stops that happening - I know they've put Spooks on at 10.30pm, but that's not the same really.
Another problem BBC3 have is some ridiculous quota system which basically means they can repeat BBC3 shows time and time again as "original" content, but can't for example repeat shows from BBC1 and BBC2 (things like Extras would be a good example) to fill that quota.
God, that was explained badly but basically it means they end up repeating the same shows over and over again, when in fact the viewer would benefit alot more from taking off that one repeat of Little Britain and Two Pints a week and repeating content from BBC2's comedy output instead.
Anyway, as for this user generated rubbish - interesting to see today that after just 15 months MTV have decided to close their user generated channel, MTV Flux, in favour of a +1 channel.

Back on The Mighty Boosh point - isn't this the problem of measuring BBC3's success? The minute anything becomes successful it moves to BBC2. BBC3 is then left bereft until the next moment of genius comes through, leaving everyone thinking it's been a failure, when in fact all its good shows have been promoted and this is exactly how it should work.
And then BBC1 nick them off BBC2.

It's 80 per cent original content, 90% has to be home grown so only 10 per cent can be bought in (I assume films takes up most of that)
Indeed the DCMS approval was based on :-
• Mixed genre, with clear commitments to news, current affairs, education, science, business, music and the arts
• Innovative, risk-taking and new, with 80% of output being specially commissioned for the channel
• Reflecting the diversity of UK society
• A high level of online and interactive support
• Supporting the UK broadcasting industry with 90% of programming made in the UK, as well as regional and independent commitments
• A clear remit to support and develop new talent, on and off-screen.

Interesting Brekkie. I often wondered why they repeat so much Two Pints when it would be far more interesting to repeat something off 1/2, but now I understand.

I think it's an improvement now they've got opted to not use Flash for the entire page, better accessibility I believe.

I just scanned through the text and my gut reaction was I honestly felt unsure about whether some of this phrasing is actually necessary for the target audience.
I know it's perfectly readable English without any text speak, but I doubt this particular style of language would ever be used for the respective sites of the other 3 Beeb channels - should this need to be any different?

I doubt the target audience will like this style of language anyway. It's very condescending and CBBClike.

That's exactly it.
It's reassuring that my sentiments have been echoed; hopefully the BBC suits will curb any desire to try and 'connect' with viewers via this language as soon as they realize it just comes across as out-of-touch, creating the opposite effect to that intended.
Through all this market research and focus group business, it's surprising they don't seem to have gathered that this audience should be spoken to as adults, in an adult fashion.
