Re: BBC TV: The Repair Shop
We don't watch TV these days, and this thread reminds me of why. it's not the dumbing down of technical subjects which, although frustrating to those who have some knowledge, is really to be expected in mass-audience based programmes.
It's the repetitive nature and short attention span catering ways of repeating things 5 times and jumping from subject to subject like a frog on amphetamine...
Youtube is where I spend my screen-time these days & a lot of the videos I watch do tend to conform to the "slow TV" format mentioned earlier on, realtime or barely edited repair videos with technical content to the level the uploader chooses. I think that's where all the good "content" has gone to, driven by a passion for the subject rather than the need to make ratings/money.
