The BBC are at it again

Jun 04, 2016 16:57

So apparently tonight's BBC showing of episode 2 has been cancelled - not so the BBC can screen a Muhammad Ali tribute documentary, which is going out at 9.30, but so they can still screen f*cking Casualty, which is now going out in what this week should have been the Musketeers' 8.30 slot. *headdesk*

What a pile of old poop!! Not content with making them re-edit to make it pre watershed and then scheduling post watershed last week, we now miss a week. ☹️.

their entire treatment of this show is just a depressing joke.

and don't we know it. I just hope this seasons DVDs are uncut with extras - not holding my breath though.

suzie_shooter June 4 2016, 17:29:46 UTC

I'd be willing to bet the extras will be just the vids we'll already have seen on the bbc site like last time, *sighs*

For fuck's sake

suzie_shooter June 4 2016, 18:02:00 UTC

Yup.

It's almost not worth being a fan of this show. *sigh*

I don't know if this is worse than how they treated Robin Hood, back in the day :(

Only week two and they are screwing us over again already. Oh, and then the bloody football starts next week so every opportunity to delay or cancel more episodes.

I don't know why they don't just put the whole series up on iPlayer as a preview showing like they do for some other programmes. then they could fuck about with the transmission times as much as they liked. but noooo they have to jerk us around one last time.

I think that this is my first time actually posting here but I've been lurking a lot...This is just a f-ing joke now...At first I thought it was the Ali tribute which I could have dealt with but Casualty? Seriously...Musketeers is too good for this sh*t...I've had enough of the BBC's handling of this awesome show and it's fans... >:(
*Ahem* that being said hello thanks for all the wonderful posts...I will go back to lurking now...

the bbc's treatment of this show is just beyond belief.
