So a few weeks of primetime sport every couple of years can't be part of a well rounded schedule then?

Well in that case EastEnders, Casualty, Casualty 2.0 and Casualty 3.0: Police Edition should all be shunted off to BBC3 as they're intruding on the prime time schedule.

I think your comment about clone dramas by the BBC rather misses the point, Brekkie.

It doesn't counter the argument for varied genres within the day-to-day or weekly schedule at all times as they attempt to do when 'special events' don't occur.

I think you're missing the point that, for a mere few weeks of your life, you are going to have to put up with a couple of hours each day of watching the Olympics because the majority of people want to watch it.

You could use the same argument about Eurovision - i.e. why cancel some programmes so that Eurovision can be shown - but the same argument applies.

Besides, the Olympics will be shown during the day, presumably, when any rational person (excluding those who work nights) will be out working or having a life. There's always the latter option for those who complain!
