Trade Test Transmission
‘ANYONE would think we didnt have enough exams in our life tests at age 7, 11, GCSEs, A-levels, driving tests, eye tests and now BBCs Test The Nation.
| Now in its 143rd year! |
Nominally, this is supposed to be a sort of national IQ test, but in reality it is a chance for the BBC to fill up two and a half hours of prime time with a review of the year and call it public service broadcasting.
At a time when TV companies are receiving justified criticism for the amount of repeats being shown over Christmas, the BBC is taking things to a new level.
For instance, it has now taken to broadcasting BBC4 programmes on BBC2 and trying to make a virtue of it.
Its not enough to make one Christmas special every tens years, market it as a national institution and then repeat it every Christmas Day for a decade.
And there is life after Only Fools And Horses ’
