This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition standard of Christmas television programmes
More details
We want the Dept. of Culture to question TV executives regarding the poor quality of programmes on the TV this Christmas. (2014).
Christmas Eve in particular was dire.
The schedules are full of repeats, animated films one after another, Compilations/out takes cobbled together to fill an hour of TV; and films only recently shown before Christmas. There are increasing numbers of people spending Christmas alone as well as many older people for whom TV is, sadly, their main interaction. The quality of TV programmes, with just a few hours exception, is woeful and needs addressing.
