Are there too many BBCs?

[AmericanErrorist]

I just had a dream where the big amount of BBC channels, both TV and Radio, is presented as a fulfillment of kind of "British Dream". Maybe it is, and maybe the BBC took things a bit too far because all the other media people were doing it. Centainly many of the new BBC channels are valuable, but not, for example, BBC Three.

2. BBC3 provides an essential service

How else could people watch episodes of "Eastenders" that were on BBC1 two hours earlier, and episodes of "Little Britain" that will be on BBC1 in a couple of weeks...?

3. I've only found BBC Three useful for one thing...

...which Doctor Who Confidential. Although it may find it's way on BBC ONE/TWO at some point.
