The voting system is piss poor and despite the knocks the X factor gets, the Voice is a very pale shadow. The premise of the show had/has great potential, but they stuffed it up.
8 out of 10 Cats on BBC1? Really?
Yes I am considering the range of genre the BBC offer, every channel offers a wide variety for all ages and tastes to make up a schedule, some good, some not so much. There are far too many repeats on the BBC, regardless of the fact that there are a lot of comedy classics, they shouldn't be charging for people to watch the same stuff over and over again, would you go to the cinema two weeks in a row and pay to watch exactly the same thing?
We are not discussing the dross other channels offer, though they too need to seriously buck there ideas up in some departments, I'm not just bashing the Beeb and saying they are bad, commercial tv is good. Not at all. But they don't charge for it and the Beeb do.
As I mentioned earlier, I'd welcome a system whereby you could opt out of having the channel and not paying, maybe even pay for view for certain programmes if people wanted to watch them badly enough as a sode option? But with that I doubt anyone would, given that you don't have to pay to watch anything on Iplayer, so the only detriment would be not getting to watch stuff as it's actually shown. People would prefer to save their money for other things, like food and clothing, especially the less well off, which is a very large proportion of the population, considering the state of this country at the moment.

I agree the voice was ruined and caused many to simply switch off.
it does have some good programmes but to be honest I prefer channel 4 for their comedy documentary programming, news and films.
lots of the popular presenters and shows start off on C4, graham norton, johnathon ross.....we may even see 8 out of 10 cats on the BBC one day
The pay to view thing is not such a bad idea, if I had to pay to see the 'Life ' series with Sir David Attenbourough I would.
