I have to say the C5 have in last few months had some terrific programs air, with a mix of decent documentaries, drama and new commissions has certainly improved.
5 select also showing great promise.

I quite like some of their recent documentaries and the Jane Mcdonald show. I think they could stand to capitalise on the fact the other major channels don't really have STEM based shows if people were willing to put money in, just wish they would kill off BB to focus on that sort of thing

How did their run of Blind Date do? I think I saw the pilot and then never checked in again. It didn't have the same charm of the original

The channel does seem to be attracting talent who in previous years wouldn’t have touched the channel with a barge pole like Karren Brady and Michael Portillo as well as the likes of Alan Titchmarsh, Tony Robinson etc They’ve taken risks with more harder documentaries like The Accused or the Social Housing season.

I remember that being really odd, they clearly wanted to make their mark by presenting the game in a different way but it didn't work at all. From the little I remember of it, Brough Scott looked like he wished he was still in Kempton Park throughout.

Yes, David Baddiel said later that Brough Scott would have expected “horses to be playing”.
