1. Watching TV is undoubtedly the way most British people spend most of their spare time. Perhaps this proves something about British TV programmes; on the other hand perhaps, it proves something about the British.
5. ITV is run by commercial companies who get their money by showing advertisements. Advertisers’ material appears for one or two minutes at quarter-hour intervals, either between programme items or in so-called «natural breaks». There are strict rules about the amount of advertising and the type of advertisements allowed! (e.g. advertisements for cigarettes are forbidden). The advertisers do not sponsor the programmes or have any direct influence on their content. However, the charge for each half-minute of time is high, and varies according to the likely number of viewers. The programme companies’ financial success depends on their ability to attract viewers, and the programmes themselves inevitably reflect public tastes. In general ITV companies show programmes aimed at the mass market. BBC-1 programmes are also mainly light entertainment; e.g. detective programmes, comedy shows and I music. More serious films, plays and documentaries are normally found on BBC-2.
6. All these channels produce a good mixture of miscellaneous entertainment, music, drama and serious discussion. All succeed in presenting news efficiently, interestingly. The BBC and commercial channels can both at their best be excellent; and both spend some time producing rubbish. Both radio and television are often criticised for many and contradictory reasons. But there seems to be a common opinion among people familiar with the productions of several countries that, compared with others, the British still deserve praise.
