    Default Save BBC Four!

    The BBC are planning to cut back BBC Four! The 'Arts and Culture' channel is going to be suffering under the 20% savings that the BBC are required to make over the next five years.

    Now, while BBC Four might not be everybody's cup of tea, it's certainly better than the other BBC 'Extra' Channel, BBC Three. It's had lots of intelligent, interesting and fascinating documentaries and cultural programs over the years. And it's only on for a few hours a day! You'd think the BBC could look at better areas to make savings.

    Sign the petition at http://www.savebbcfour.com/ if you agree - if you think BBC Four should be rolled back, then tell us why!

    To be honest I watch more BBC Four than BBC One - Three. So I've signed the petition.

    BBC3 has Being Human on it, so I'd disagree there.

    They restarted The Killing last night, which I missed the first time around.

    I'm more involved with that after one episode than I am with Torchwood after three! SAVE BBC FOUR!

    Oooh, coconut macaroons!

    I think it would be a real shame if they ax BBC 4 as not only dose it have some very interesting d documentaries they cater for everybody with a wide range of subjects in music, media history and some rather obscure but fascinating subjects. One such obscure program I watched on BBC 4, was the history of the motorway in Britain, now despite what some might think it was a very enjoyable documentary and BBC4 is the only channel where you can get these sort of programs.
