don't forget to complain to the Beeb.  There was a link earlier.  Feel free to complain each day, since the only way it gets heard is through a daily summary report.

Could you post that link again.

Incidentally, here's where to complain to the BBC if you feel like it -

https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/complaints/forms/?reset=#anchor

Was this the link you were looking for?

[Cubs]

It's a bit awkward because they want you to give specific details of a single episode in order to make the complaint, so I just put in the last episode's details and then typed the complaint at the end.

I just clicked on 'General BBC TV' rather than BBC1, apparently more departments receive it that way. 

[Cubs]

Ha! That might have things easier for me!

Yep, I have signed the petition too.
Just cant get my head round it.
The Beebs trump card is that it is centrally funded and doesn't have to chase viewing figures for advertising revenue. The quality inherant in such programming sold the product internationally. The money coming in from commercial sources helps fund further quality output with high production values. Such as Ripper street.
I think Ripper street is more accessible to a global audience than Peaky blinders for example and therefore more likely to generate income for the beeb. Very shortsighted decision for auntie.
F..k the viewing figures. I have 500 channels of rubbish on my telly, the good stuff is thin on the ground already.
Hard to justify a television lisence fee to fund the Beeb when you are indestinguishable from your commercial competitors.

Disgruntled from South Wales.

Well said.
I signed petition too and shared it on facebook. Couple of friends signed and shared it too so hopefully that'll generate some more numbers.

What happens when it gets to 7500 Bezzo?

Unfortunately it would seem that the entertain and educate ethos of Lord Reith has now been subsumed in a politically correct generation of 'executives' that criticise raw historical drama like Ripper Street for its graphic depiction of Victorian crime (which compared to the reality is still pretty tame) but considers ritual humiliation of human beings fantastic entertainment for the masses. I wonder what a psychiatrist would make of these people...
Some years ago in the eighties, before reality TV really took hold, one commentator once said that if the government opened an arena and started feeding christians to the lions, there would be no shortage of spectators willing to pay to watch... I thought he was exaggerating, but now I believe we are reaching the stage when it would be compulsive viewing on CBBC!

Replace "christians" with "people who make decisions like this" and you've got my money.

I really enjoyed tonight's show, a real shame it will be no more.... Kind of like Deadwood from HBO
