| Quote: “We need to look to our laurels a bit with television in this country”, he said. “ I don’t think enough risks are being taken in drama television in the UK and I think a lot of programme makers are underestimating the intelligence of the viewing public, basing it all on ratings. Just because 12 million people watch a pile of reality TV [LIFTED] about something or other, that doesn’t mean that’s the only type of programme you make. “There’s great swathes of people now who don’t watch any British television, because there’s nothing there worth watching.” | |

I generally don't watch British drama because it doesn't interest me, not even the more humorous stuff. I only watched The Fall because it was hilariously bad. I tend to enjoy crime/spy shows but they're few and far between, quality-wise.
I'll maybe eventually catch up with The Driver, but I'll hardly be devastated if I don't. I don't watch the stuff on ITV etc because ad breaks drive me mad, and since the BBC made a dog's dinner of iPlayer I watch far less there now too.
You?
