Written by Why do the BBC insist on showing the repeats of anything decent at varyingly late times?
I miss Heroes every Wednesday as I am out – the repeat is shown on a Sunday night no earlier than 23:45, but it varies every week – and is sometimes as late as 1:30am. Fine if you are part of the non-working community, but if I stayed up to watch it, I would be ruined as far as sleep goes for the entire following week.
Yes, I could record it, but why bother showing the repeats at all in that case? Yes, I could (and inevitably will) watch it on i-player but the quality is shit.
By all means put it on at 1:30am but do it on a day when the majority of the country do not have to get up early. After all, the BBC have no problems in showing repeats of documentaries and biographies at human times – Dragon’s Den is always repeated 2 hours EARLIER than it’s original transmission time, and I would suspect, to a similar audience size. Give me a break BBC – you have precious little programming that I would consider unmissable so DON’T make me miss this.
