    The BBC continue to waste money on a grand scale. Im just looking at the Andrew Marr show as I do every sunday, but here we are, its coming LIVE from Australia. It just smacks of gravy train ism again. Why on earth do we need this general magazine programme to come all the way from Australia at LIVE rates. This involves not only sending Marr but technical people etc...all the way there. Ridiculous waste..particularly in hard times. They keep telling us its hard times.

    I understand the need for a roving reporter to go and follow the Queen and maybe get some info on the Commonwealth leaders but moving whole programmes kit and caboodle is sheer waste. Nobody cares that much, it would do just as well to present it from London as always.

    The latest trend has seen every tom dick and harry from the newsroom presenting from on top of a safe building in Tripoli too...every time there is an incident or a gathering at downtown anywhere nowadays they present the whole programme from there. and with whole reams of presenters too on 24 hour basis. Remember the 10 year remembering of 9/11. I dunno..such a waste.

    The News section of the BBC have obviously had an increase in budget but are spending it in this superficial phoney man on the spot way. Far better to spend this kind of money on improved programming outside of the populist mode.
