Yes I will do so but first I need to check out the Programme Complaints Unit 
as suggested by MJ Ray and I'm still waiting for a reply from ofcom as to 
whether they handle BBCi stuff or not. The UKCDR would seem to be the place 
to coordinate a more wide-ranging campaign about the inadequacies of the BBC 
perhaps? There seem to be few avenues of attack though. The charter review 
process is one possibility. On the BBC science message boards there was talk 
of a petition, possibly even using the BBC's own local campaign thingummy but 
that was about the poor quality of Horizon programmes recently - a whole 
different kettle of worms game ;)

Yes, Stephen Evans's name comes to mind again methinks. What of the 
non-appearance of their promised Ogg streams too - I've harried them about 
their destructive and exclusive addiction to the Real formats before but to 
no avail. Is the UKCDR interested in such matters? 

Cheers, 

Paul.
