The only good things about BBC2 is that they show Athletics like all day on there if there's a championship on for a number of days. Other than that it's pointless and I never watch it.

I'd rather lose BBC3 than BBC4.

BBC Four is also very much responsible for the UK's love of Scandinavian dramas, with the likes of Borgen, The Bridge, The Killing and Wallander. The effect of this is very much visible in current culture, especially since their popularity on the channel has caused UK remakes of some of these shows.

Then there's BBC Four's comedy output. Charlie Brooker, one of the most well known satirists currently doing the rounds in the UK got his start on the channel, with Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe had five series on the channel, which lead to him doing shows such as You Have Been Watching, How TV Ruined Your Life, Newswipe and writing Black Mirror.

They were also the first UK Channel to broadcast shows like Mad Men, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Flight of the Conchords, Parks & Recreation and even The Thick of It.

One of my personal favourite shows of the last decade, Dirk Gently, only ran for four episodes, but that show never would've even been broadcast on any other channel. BBC Four isn't a channel made for huge viewing figures, far from it. Any show that does successfully gets moved to channels more in the spotlight, such as BBC Two, because BBC Four is a testing ground for shows that would not get produced on any other channel because there "isn't an audience for them". BBC Four allows for programs about things more niche, more specific, and generally caters to an audience which are not getting what they want from other channels. It is due to this that it is imperative BBC Four is saved, even at the loss of BBC Three.

No date as yet
it has to go through many levels
and the BBC Trust have to agree.
But early reports say they are with Tony Hall on this.

Many BBC stars reported this, in anger , well before
Tony Hall said he was going to move it online

Because BBC4 imported "European Police Series" and the like
it was more Hit with all ages,

BBC3 is a younger persons channel - mostly
so BBC3 Online can take over

BBC Three is honestly the only channel from the BBC I watch daily. I only watch BBC One every so often, and I never watch BBC Two or Four. BBC Three has some of my favourite programmes and is the birthplace of some of the best shows that have moved into BBC One - Gavin and Stacey and Torchwood for example.

The comedy they're showing at the moment is amazing. Pramface's third series is just hilarious and so is Ja'mie. It's such a great channel. Past programmes have been amazing too. I love their documentaries on teenage problems or life in different areas/cultures. Getting rid of BBC Three is stupid and is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.
