Now, Natural History, there's a thing... it's a load of manipulative
anthropomorphic nonsense. Just watch 'walking with dinosaurs' for proof,
they somehow managed to ascribe human emotions to creatures that we've never
even seen alive - "the cute furry little mouse thing is very *frightened*".
Still, the kids liked it.

Well let's see... my opinion of the Beeb changed dramatically a few years
ago when protesters managed to close the approach to the M40 - I missed
it, but tuned in to the news programmes to get a glimpse.
I didn't find a single report about it. The BBC had been equally quiet
about the protesters' side of the story at Newbury, at the bypass protest.
I'd like a licence fee form where I can tick the programs I want to see
funded. Guess what? I wouldn't tick 'News'. I'd probably just tick 'Open
University' and 'Natural history'.
The idea of the BBC as a public service broadcaster is naive. Public
propaganda and control might be more appropriate.
Nice to see a bit of discussion in frendz... glad to see you're all alive
