Last night confirmed that I am actually becoming a grumpy old woman. Having finally had enough of the shoddy, cheap crap that channel four boot out, I decided to email a complaint:
"I have always been a loyal patron of Channel 4 Television. You have been considered a cutting edge channel, showing a range of contraversial and interesting programmes. Unfortunately I am becoming increasingly irritated by the poor programming you have fallen foul to over recent months.Virtually every evening showcases a wealth of repeats; even programmes that you promote as a new series end up being 'revisits' (e.g. The Home Show and Grand Designs). What ever happened to the cutting edge films on a Sunday evening? Now weekends are devoted to the 'Top 100...'. Quite frankly this is shoddy and lazy programming and I for one am finding myself increasingly pulled to other channels."
I was quite surprised to recieve a response only minutes later:
"Dear Ms Ashkowski, Thank you for contacting us regarding THE HOME SHOW. The show in question was listed as a revisit show. This allows viewers to catch up with the experiences after the initial investments or renovations -which is why this has proven a popular format across many of our shows. As such it is listed as a new episode, as while the participants are the same, the circumstances surrounding their presentation are not. Nevertheless, please be assured your comments and complaint has been notedand logged. The log is distributed throughout Channel 4. Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate all feedback from our viewers; complimentary or otherwise. Regards, Jessicka Burton Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries"
Needless to say, the response proves that none of my views will be taken on board. However, it felt good to sound off and get a response. I might take up complaining for a hobby!
