Something I wanted ro share... Posted Wed Nov 15 21:56:43 GMT 2000 by 'Radiator Head Child'

After making regular complaints to the BBC about The Way It Is being scheduled during August my pestering was honoured with an individual letter, transcribed on the next posting.
Can't believe they bothered...

Dear Ms Bramich

Thank you for your further e-mail about 'The Way It Is'.

As the '11 o'clock Show' was not a BBC production, we are not looking for a
replacement.� However, please be assured that your interest in seeing this
programme brought back has been registered for the attention of the programme
makers.

I am sorry that you were unhappy with the scheduling.� Our scheduling department
felt August was a suitable time to broadcast this programme.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Regards

Kate Duggan
BBC Information

RHC,

Forgive my asking, but were you unhappy with it being on in August or with it being on lateish at night? If the former then why? If the latter then Kate Duggan seems to have misunderstood your complaint.

I like that.

Can you transcribe your letter? Please?

I can't work out the 11 O'Clock Show reference.

I hope you told her it was an absolutley ludicrous move to show it in August. Was this an exam related quibble?

It's more useful than just moaning about stuff on here. Well done.

Yeah, what did the letter you write say?

here you go then:
(remember this was a form on the internet that you fill in)
-The 11 O Clock show has been cancelled leaving a nice gap in the schedules for a
more mature approach to put in a political satire show, perhaps another pilot is
needed to remind the public- and why did you give a news show a pilot in the
middle of the silly season anyhow?

Good, well done. Even though the future of 11ocs is undecided, but that's a different matter.

Only by shouting at the television.

Oh well.
I once shouted at this kid in my school and he pushed me over so I pulled him up into the air...I'm not supposed to talk about that.

Anyone ever tried complaining to 'Right to Reply'?? A very amusing hobby, you should all try it sometime, but here are some tips:

Do not criticise C4 or its programming
Do not use language harsher than 'crap

and remember, you *will* be deleted!*
(just ask Gee)





*deletion will not occur if you hold extreme right wing views, or are middle class.

In this case, you will win a million pounds on an ITV quiz show.
