Buried.

So Time Team (see post of 12th February) is finally to be ditched by Channel 4. Great, great shame - a perfect example (at least in its original format) of public service broadcasting which surely should be encouraged.  It speaks volumes about the mental state of the viewing public when programmes like this go to the wall, while dross like "Strictly Come Dancing", "X Factor", "Britain's Got Talent" and the like pull in the audiences.  BBC2 was originally set up to provide minority educational stuff - perhaps they could take it over?
