...so triple bills of Family Guy repeats at 11pm seem alright to me, especially when there's no time to put much else on after it because the Women's World Cup Final is at midnight.
Our youth managed without a couple hours of nightly 'Family Guy' pre mid 00's so I'm sure society won't collapse with a 'Family Guy'-less BBC again. My biggest concern regarding the closure of BBC3 wasn't losing 'Family Guy' it was loosing the excellent, but often overlooked, factual and current affairs shows. Admittedly the streaming BBC3 budget will be much smaller but 80% of it will be spent on long form comedy & factual/current affairs. Ultimately most of what BBC3 does best with only the dross that dogged the channels reputation anyway forcibly weeded out. I'm not saying downsizing BBC3 and forcing it online isn't premature or foolproof but I also don't think it will be anywhere near as catastrophic as the hilariously OTT 'SAVE BBC3' campaign is forewarning.

In fairness, Family Guy has only really gotten popular in the UK over the last few years. I discovered it when Sky1 used to air it early evenings, and I remember taking a Family Guy DVD into school once at the end of term, nobody had a clue what it was and nobody was bothered about watching it. Of course, once the BBC got hold of it, everybody's all like "Hey, you should watch Family Guy!"
My point is, everybody got by without it because not many people knew of it. Now it's ended up a part of "yoof"'s viewing habits, it'd probably leave a considerable gap.
Surprised the Wimbledon ident hasn't been discussed on here. Players batting a 2 shaped ball around complete with grunting "B" "B" "C" "Two" and an on-screen scoreboard.
Was used before Wimbledon 2Day but not sure if it was used earlier in the day.
