The starting on one channel and then moving to another is a bit tricky
for recorders. I don't know any type of recorder that can follow a
series of programs that changes channels. My recorder waits for the

Exactly.
But if the Sky EPG had been updated (by the BBC, or at least, on the
BBC's information), a Sky+ box would have managed to get "Sherwood".
I don't accept that as many people watch live-transmitted sport via an >off-air video-recording, as compared with the number of people who watch >proper TV programmes via an off-air recording.
The BBC have 7 channels showing tennis ATM. Why do they have to try toIf it was the Centre Court one in UHD / 4K it was unwatchable even on my
boost BBC1 viewing figures by switching between BBC2 and BBC1.
Incidentally one of the BBC Red Button channels had awful quality. It had to >be the one showing the match my wife wanted to watch.

Surely most of the stuff the BBC transmits has little to do with
reality,
especially the news.

Not on the BBC, Red Laura was one sided but the new political reporter
is so far to the left he's in Mid Atlantic.

I have never seen the film "Half A Sixpence" and it was scheduled (on
BBC2, I think) a few days ago.
So being a Wells fan, I set two recorders for it - Sky + and HDD/DVD-R.
I got two hours of gardening and other such delights.

Are you talking about Nick Robinson, the BBC's most aggressive
interviewer? He was a true blue Conservative when he joined the BBC His >previous job was at the Conservative Party head office.

No Chris Mason, who took over as Political Editor when Laura moved on.
We have an app based "Newspaper" called YorkshireLive, it's part of the >Mirror Group and allegedly reports on Yorkshire news, that is when it's
not reporting news from all over Britain.
The quality of "journalism" is appalling and would make a 10 year old
blush, it seem they don't have a spell checker on their system, grammar
is dire even to someone like me who failed English twice at my G.C.E.'s
and the thrust of reports are " I visited *** and ***"", usually a pub, >restaurant or beach complete with a Selfie.

The Express is the same also owned by the Mirror group. I think all UK local
newspapers are owned by the same company. The Yorkshire Post used to be very right wing has gone left wing .
The food reviews in our local Dutch newspaper are the same. I think they are a
perk for being the editor. He sucks up to whoever owns the place. He visited the
local yacht club restaurant actually contracted out to a small chain of crap restaurants. He mentioned how wet they got going their by bike in the rain. The
photo is an old photo taken on a sunny day outside the restauarant.The club was
using the restaurant for some sort of meeting. They had to sit on bar stools at
a little round table made for having a drink The main course of a -u60 meal (excluding wine) was a steak, The steak was so tough he couldn't even chew it never mind eat it. He b;amed the butcher who supplied the meat. He didn't get something else or a refund. He marked the meal 7/10 the same as he marks most meals. He obviously can't budget. He spent -u60/person at the beginning of the
month and similar amounts in other restaurants until the last week of the month
when he went to a cafe and spent -u5 on sandwiches and a cup of coffee. It's the
same every month.

People see what they want to see.

Much the same is true of the former (and famous) Liverpool Echo, which
is now effectively the Manchester Labour Party Echo.
The company which owns these former newspapers, the Maxwell Press >(irrespective of its actual name), is now called "Reach".
One wonders why the MMC had nothing to say about the Daily Express being >bought by the Maxwell Press. It's a clear case of reduction of political >coverage and if something analogous were happening in broadcasting,
there'd be a hue and cry over it.
Oh... hang on...
There IS a hue and cry over the forthcoming privatisation of Channel 4...

Funny how Starmer and Krankie are never questioned about their wrong
doings, or Golden Boy Sunak for that matter.
According to Nick Robinson The Daily Mail always backs the right
horse in Conservative leader elections.
