Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
The BBC News merger stuff is a little hysterical at times isn’t it 100% Some seem to be treating it as a death in the family The thing I don't get is the absolute persistence of the 'it'll be BBC World News except in name' narrative. At every stage of the phase-in, particularly the 'interim' period...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
The posting of a somewhat obvious fake accidental reveal of new branding in the BBC News merger thread is a bit odd - delusional kid or troll? I'm not sure what they were really hoping to achieve there.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
The BBC-Lineker fiasco thread is bringing some odd ones out. Terrible takes being had - people jumping to the BBC’s defence either out of foolishness or stubbornness, others being like “THIS ISN’T NEWS!!!” for some bizarre reason, and i’ve also seen people fantasising about Gary joining GMB or bein...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
Yeah maybe the reason why it seems negative at the moment is because… the rebrands aren’t very good? Exactly! The negativity seems to largely be an unenthusiastic reception to a series of fairly mediocre rebrands. It's hardly like people are being presented with the BBC Two 2s and going 'a bit blan...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
I remember when the Watch, News and Information Boards were mainly complaints about overenthusiastic younger members uncritically declaring every rebrand to be brilliant.
But I guess you can't win them all.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
I was missing the pleasant discussion of years gone by about this latest rebrand, so again ventured into the ITV thread. Aside from that, there’s such negativity. I don’t want everyone to like everything, but I’m sure the tone and energy of the chat is miles away from where it used to be. As bilky ...

Re: The Telly Forum Watch News and Information Board
Some people are really desperate to get that gallery. I really do not get the fuss that is being made about The Gallery. It'd be one thing if we were going from the era when The Gallery was at its peak in quality and use, but it was already fizzling out in the latter years of TVF and virtually nobo...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
The Queen's death certainly instigated a flurry of activity on Pres Cafe - to the extent that almost exactly half of all posts in the News forum and nearly 40% of all posts are Queen related - but I haven't really yet seen much trickle down to the other threads.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
I suppose it's easy to get used to having someone else initiate the discussion and be the first to post on a particular topic. But it doesn't have seem a bit silly to post about someone not posting about something you wanted to post about but didn't post about because nobody else had posted about i...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
I'm not saying the new forums are a bit dead, but the first non-news bulletin use of the new Studio B set (Our Next Prime Minister) hasn't raised a comment on either. I'd like to join one of the forums, but this deadness is keeping me away - too few active members and it becomes hard to have a conve...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
The lack of firm but fair criticism is certainly something that I have felt on the Gallery in recent years. There has definitely been an element of 2* mockers congratulating other 2* mockers on their excellent Paint designs, to the extent that people trying to uphold things like safe zones or broadc...
