New programmes tonight
Hmmm....perhaps this is not quite the correct title for the Thread but I couldn't think of anything better
THE REPAIR SHOP; FIXING BRITAIN BBC1, 4-30
I think the BBC have been caught out or surprised by the success and popularity of The Repair Shop series
If you haven't seen it, members of the public bring all kinds of old items with sentimental value for repair - furniture, paintings, pottery, toys & dolls
There is a discussion about each item, then it follows the repair & restoration leading to the return of the finished item to the owners
There is no fancy presentation or background music, just the interest and pleasure of seeing experts at work
This evening goes into more detail about the history and background of the items
I don't quite know what to expect, but if it follows the same sort of format it should be interesting and easy to watch
YORKSHIRE WALKS BBC 4, 7-00
The presenter goes for a walk through the Yorkshire countryside, making her own comments and observations
Some people have described this as pointless and boring. I suppose it depends
I like it because it's easy to watch, pleasant, and you see other people's points of view
Alright, these have been shown before, on BBC 2 I think, so they're repeats, but I'll watch them again
