I found myself watching the BBC a lot lately. But there’s a good reason for that: they produced some excellent and interesting programs. Nearly every evening there is a program on that suites my taste:
Monday 22:00: The Good Life. (Giles Coren and Sue Perkins try to life on a self-sufficient way, with a very big touch of humor).
Tuesday 21:00: The High-street (Four families run shops in a high-street during a certain historic period).
Wednesday 21:00: The Edwardian Farm (Three historians run a Edwardian farm in a historically correct manner)
21:00 Jimmy’s Food Factory (Jimmy Doherty shows what techniques or tricks if you prefer, are used in modern supermarket product, for example chips, peanut-butter and instant coffee).
Friday 21:30: QI (shouldn’t need an introduction).
Sunday 22:00: James May’s Man Lab (Top Gear’s James May tries to make men proper men again by showing things that every man should be able to do or make)
