An entirely different argument. The fee of the show doesn't take away from the fact that the majority of these types of shows need re-tweaking in the second season, which was the point i originally debating with you with. I'd say they are generally satisfied with the 10mill they were getting for 3/4 weeks and now the 6mill average. It was never going to stay at 10mill throughout the series.

It is not an entirely different argument - it is a valid point.

It is very much the case - if the BBC want to spend that amount of money from TV Licence payers - they need to ensure it is a winning formula - they are at least 8million viewers down for it to come even close to be regarded as a success.
