Not strictly relevant to this post, but something I was wondering about your take on; I don't know if you watch the BBC quiz show Perfection regularly (I think you've mentioned it on here a few times), but since it returned from its mid-series break the new episodes have been on BBC Two, two episodes per day from 6am. Considering it had a rather nice mid-afternoon BBC One slot before this, I find this rather odd. Its old slot is now host to a new quiz called The Edge with Mark Benton, which is simply awful and I advise you not to watch if you want to keep your sanity.
Think they're trying to kill the show? I hope not. It seems surprising though, as along with Pointless and Eggheads it seems to have become quite a staple of the daily BBC quiz genre, and although I don't know the viewing figures, it seems to have quite a positive reception. I've been talking about it with people on Digital Spy, there seem to be quite a few others who enjoy it and are surprised and concerned about the scheduling.

Sorry if this comment is a bit irrelevant, just thought it was an interesting one to mention.
