BBC Two will broadcast Cunk’s Quest For Meaning, a one-off 75 minute special in which Diane Morgan will reprise her role as Philomena Cunk to try and discover the meaning of life.
What does the “two” mean for BBC. Are the numbers associated with different program types / regions?
There are four main free-to-air BBC channels in the UK
-
BBC 1 - ( launched 1936) and original flagship mainstream channel with the usual mixture of entertainment, news, documentaries etc. This is where the big shows sit. Doctor Who? Traitors? BBC 1
-
BBC 2 - launched 1964. Originally home for more ambitious less mainstream programming. Still that to an extent.
-
BBC 3 - for da youth. Mainly entertainment. Launched as a digital service went web-only for a bit
-
BBC 4 - documentaries, music, arts, foreign films.
The are is also CBeebies - for preschoolers and CBBC for school aged kids, though I think sadly they have been killed off due to cuts.
There are a similar number of National BBC radio station, each with their own focus - pop, news and sport, drama, classical music etc. plus regional stations
It’s pretty awesome imho
Top Gear should have been BBC1 rather than BBC2
Yeh, I think it always had its home there because it originated as a niche motoring affairs programme before Clarkeson-May-Hammond.
-
I believe they are different TV channels owned by the BBC.
Brits apparently laugh at her show.
I’m not a Brit, and I laugh as well.
