THE future of the BBC should be based on a culture of making good programmes instead of rubbish ones, according to a leading think tank.
 Exactly!
A spokesman said: "We were really struggling with this one until Mark remembered something his Aunt Barbara had told him about how she liked watching Z Cars, because she thought it was good.
"It was like a supernova of brilliance exploding over and over again in the centre of our brains: Good programmes.
"Research has shown time and again that good programmes are better than bad ones. Often a lot more so, particularly if they are very, very good."
He added: "So, in summary... BBC - do better things than you are currently doing. I thank you."
But a BBC insider said: "While this is really helpful, we do have an ongoing responsibility to Adrian Chiles.
"If we ousted him in favour of something good, he'd have to return to being the ubiquitous bloke working in every print and copy shop in every town in the UK, grudgingly doing some photocopies for you while muttering darkly about you not having left enough 'bleed' as he wipes his nose on his sleeve.
"We promised his mum that we'd sort him out and that's what we intend to do."
Licence-payer, Emma Bradford, said: "Good programmes are indeed good. I think the BBC needs to revisit last year's Bonekickers and just do the exact opposite of whatever the hell it thought it was supposed to be doing there."
