The channel founded by the Beeb's for-profit arm (now known as BBC Studios)
and Discovery in 1999 as presenting the full spectrum of British television
other than the costume dramas and mysteries that PBS dotes on got
complaints from expats in its early years for an overreliance on what the
Brits call DIY shows ("Changing Rooms" [or in the U.S. version, "Trading
Spaces"], "Ground Force"), was sold to the now-ailing AMC Networks in 2014
and has pretty much deteriorated into another zombie channel, especially
when Disney swiped "Doctor Who" for Disney+ worldwide:
