..Won't Miss BBC3?


Young people and celebrities alike have joined forces over the internet in a bid to save BBC3.The BBC are planning on axing youth channel BBC3 in 2015, making it an online-only channel, in a bid to save the corporation £100million a year. Yet despite the public outroar against Tony Hall, Director-General of the BBC, I’m still so on the fence over the whole situation that I’ve started getting splinters on my bottom.

..Thinks We Should Give Up On Eurovision?


The BBC have recently announced this year's Eurovision contestant: never-before-heard-of Molly Smitten-Downes. In a new tactic to avoid the dreaded 'nil point', they have decided to steer away from dragging old has-beens out of their coffins (Engelbert Humperdinck, I'm talking about you), and instead enlisted the help of a singer-songwriter barely making ripples online or on the radio.

Although I agree the old tradition of having someone from the wrong side of the 80s represent a country so prominent in the world music scene was a terrible one, but I'm not overly keen on the replacement.

After being an avid watcher and fan of Eurovision since I was in the womb, I've found our incessant failure infuriating, and I think I have the solution to crack even the most politically-minded voters.
