[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 327474, member: 175089"] I too used to be an avid fan of the xmas lectures. IMHO, the moment they went to Channel 4, they were dumbed-down in order to fit between the commercial breaks. I believe that on Five they even have sponsor deals and phone votes. Very sad. This is one programme best suited to a commercial free PSB - like the BBC. When the shows were on the BBC you had the chance to sit down, relax, get into the introduction, energise brain, absorb some well presented material, et al. How the BBC 'lost' this show I have no idea. This year I only watched one programme. :confused: . [/QUOTE]
