After you've gone

Found an old e-mail i sent to the BBC ages ago. It's about the woeful Nicholas Lyndhurst "comedy" After you've gone

Why is this show being repeated? It's absolutely dire and the fact that they've made 3 series' is mindbending. It was baffling enough that it was previously being aired in the 8:30 - 9:00 slot, which over the years has brought us the equally woeful, My Family, My Hero, All About Me, Parents of the band etc.

If anyone has missed it then couldn't they just watch it on the iplayer? Or they could just guess all the "gags" for themselves as they're so predicable. Surely it's time to stop churning out the same old tired sitcoms laden with pathetic jokes or this barren spell will never end.

Dear Mr Brown Thank you for your e-mail regarding 'After You've Gone'. I understand you're unhappy this programme is repeated. I note feel it and others such as 'My Family', 'My Hero' and 'All About Me' should not have been broadcast on a prime slot. I also note you believe viewers should catch up on BBC iPlayer if they've missed an episode. I realise you would new programmes with new writing. If I may I would like to take a moment to address your concerns. Audience figures and viewers' comments show that people welcome the opportunity to see programmes such as 'After You've Gone' they may have missed. It's also very much appreciated when viewers are given the opportunity to view past programmes that they thoroughly enjoyed the first time round. We aim to show repeats only where there is a genuine public interest and demand. That said, our repeats policy inevitably represents a compromise between different interests and is kept under constant review. We do make changes if we believe they're necessary in light of audience feedback. In catering to an audience of millions it's naturally difficult to produce a programme which every viewer enjoys, all the time. From the correspondence which we receive it's also clear that viewers opinions can and do vary considerably. The BBC do try to provide a wide range of programmes across our radio and television output that will be of interest to every section of our audience. However, I appreciate your feelings on this matter and I'd like to I can assure you that I have registered your comments on our audience log. This is the internal report of audience feedback which we compile daily for all programme makers and commissioning executives within the BBC, and their senior management. It ensures that your points, and all other comments we receive, are circulated and considered across the BBC. Thank you again for contacting us with your concerns.
