My son Peter will be thrilled, as will my wife. She has old videotapes from her teenaged years, and pulled them out to amuse our son. I’d much rather have him watch shows with plenty of action, convoluted plots, and classy British-accented space aliens than have him sucked into Pokemon or any of the other full-length commercials that market toys to kids. Yes, the Beeb has that weird socialist way of supporting its shows… I shouldn’t really complain.
