Ok tin hat time....
Keyword here is 'drama'..it's irrelevant that we know the outcome... guess what?.... Scrooge gets reformed, Sidney Carton dies, the shrew gets tamed and the Germans lose WW2.
The BBC has done some really great drama that has affected how we think and act today...
Stuff like Threads, Cathy Come Home and Edna the Inebriate Woman...
There have been excellent serial dramas like I Claudius, Edge of Darkness, Poldark(original)
Edgy comedy like Monty Python, Not the nine o clock news, Fawlty Towers (flowery tw**s), Blackadder etc..
And format comedy like Fools and Horses, open all hours, good life
How many of us grew up with Bill and Ben, Woodentops and Andy Pandy
More recently there have been dramatic bios on Kenneth Williams, Tony Hancock, Hattie Jacques...but hey we know the outcome..they died
