I think I must watch Five about once every 50-billion years.


I don't think I've watched one show on Five for the past six months. I'll be tuning in again weekly though when Prison Break returns.


Me too. I love Prison Break.

I only watch five for imported shows like Home and Away, Grey's Anatomy and Prison Break.

BBC 1 - but C4 when BB is on

I think the most interesting thing in the poll is the low score BBC Two receives.

I kind of feel the channel has lost its way over the past few years with many of its main strengths such as arts, documentaries, new comedy and youth-orientated programming being poached by BBCs Three and Four.

This seems to have left BBC Two without a real purpose these days. It could do with redefining its remit.

As we've said many times before BBC3 and BBC4 squeezed BBC2 out of their cult comedy and high brow factual programming, while any hits they have are soon stolen by BBC1.

For me though one of the biggest disapointments is how the youth/cult strand which ran for many years from 6-7.30pm has now been replaced by dull formats like Eggheads and various versions of Animal Park!

Although they are to get Torchwood soon, this will probably then be promoted to BBC One, like the rest of the good shows on the channel.

I think in primetime (well, from 8-10.30pm) they are still competitive - but outside of it the schedule has slowly fallen apart.

There seems very little worth watching after Newsnight now!

Im not really surprised by the low score for BBC2 - there has always been very little of interest on there.

I am totally surprised by the low vote for BBC2 ...always find there's more there than on BBC1 ( which I hardly ever watch apart from Joanathan Ross ) or ITV1 ... Smile

I'm surprised at the low score for BBC 2 as well. It's probably joint top with BBC 1 here in my case, if not the most watched, followed by ITV1, then C4, then five.

BBC two has been going down hill for years: the programmes on BBC 4 should be on BBC two!
