Probably lowest common denominator sexist and racist 70s style garbage..😂
If you don't want the NHS vote conservative or reform and farage
He may say he wants more TV shows for the working class, but he means more TV shows for GBNews-type viewers
Football, reality shows , talent shows. Period Drama shows where guys wear cool clothes and play franz ferdinand when walking in slow motion.Thats it
The terminology used by the BBC chairman is a nice way stating intent of producing programmes that are brain numbing & cheap to make. It is a mere cost cutting exercise that will inevitably fail !
What a shame Chas n Dave and Barbara Windsor aren’t around to cash in on this.
Nothing i like better than ferret racing, and public information films.
Stop making propaganda costume dramas 😮
When Tories say 'Working Class TV', they're speaking exclusively in terms of more programming like GBN, as if GBN wasn't enough crap aimed, not at 'Working Class' people, but at gullible nasty morons whom the Tories presume Working class people to be.
I hate it when enough working class people prove them right and keep votingfor them.
It means to dumb down the BBC even more.
The assumption being that the "working class" require special content is patronising… what are we to expect? Dumbed down content to suit our inferior brains? Easy watching programming with easy to read subtitles? Perhaps it's a levelling up thing.
There are there on all the other channels not the bbc thats been stealing money off of people for 50 years you dont need a tv licence but they dont tell you that
O'Brien is a disgrace
Jeremy Kyle show? A programme that allows those 'near the bottom' to sneer at others misfortunes.
Up here in the north we still have whippets and pigeons, might be an idea, alf garnet used to be huge too😮
And thousands of working class people vote for the tories, its Mind-boggling.
Defund the bbc
What's the chance of a contemporary drama with genuinely working class concerns like Boys from the Blackstuff being made today? A drama with themes that implicity and explicitly criticise the economic structures and privations that working class people endure? Not a f@#king chance since that's not the image or concerns they wish to promote, when the executives of the BBC are really only interested in pandering or water-carrying for the Tories.
We need programs that teach people how to think and reason, this country's people need to be challenged not entertained and have things dumbed down.
I don't watch the BBC but what's a working class TV show .
Has anyone actually watched BBC tv lately because it is populated by mind numbing crap !!!!
Antiques Roadshow?
Shah has revealed his elitist class prejudice with his comment.
More jewels from the Master.
Lets appreciate him whilst we've got him…
Upstairs, downstairs – Downton Abbey…..the list is endless for us commoners
Mrs Brown's Boys
No such thing as working class anymore except in the eyes those wanting to suppress and patronise
💩💩
Caste system, keep the lower classes were you can have them under your boot.
Desperate to preserve the class stereotypes so beloved of the out of touch
Running out of stories eh James
What he wants is poor quality right wing shows that appeal to sun readers and gb news viewers. More attempted tory games.
