I'm a fan of the BBC's factual stuff, especially their natural history, documentaries and the stuff on BBC World. And whilst it's not perfect, their world news operation still kicks the shit out of stuff like CNN. But dear God, this new channel sounds absolutely horrendous.
Our source, an anonymous independent producer who “despairs at the BBC brand being tarnished by this god-awful s**t-stain”, said:
"It’s worse than BBC Ukip - it’s what a Guardian reading BBC exec thinks people in Ukip want. It’s essentially the Top Gear channel."
Our source added: “Pitching to them is like something out of a Chris Morris sketch about TV commissioners. I went into a commissioning meeting and on the whiteboard there was the phrase ‘WHAT IS BROCEANOGRAPY?’ on it.”
