Trouble is, what are the BBC making for grown-ups to enjoy?

All their big-budget productions are kid's stuff (Dr Who etc.) or tiresome period dramas. All their major feature documentaries are dumbed-down beyond belief (e.g. Horizon).

I think the problem is largely that the BBC now employs 'children' who have been raised on a diet of pap in their production departments.

It was truly awful. The only redeeming feature was my pointing out to Mrs OG every 30 seconds: 'And they wouldn't have had <insert anachronistic feature> in early post-Roman Britain'.

Yes! My wife hates that too
