How’s that going to appeal to the working class to watch the Chanel though ?

isnt working class a bit of an outdated meaningless term?

"Patricia Hildago, the director of children's television for the BBC, told The Telegraph last year that CBBC was showing North American cartoons as a "tactic" to lure viewers from rival services. The plan was then to commission animated shows that emphasise Britishness.

"Imagine if we could have a British version of The Simpsons for children and families in the UK. That would be amazing, right?" Hidalgo said. "Think about any of the American shows: the streets are very American-looking – they do Thanksgiving. All the things are very American in culture.

"We could set our characters in a British setting. When I'm talking now to some of the people I'm meeting, I'm basically saying: 'What about roast beef instead of turkey when we have a family around the table?'"
