Is the BBC doing enough to create fresh and exciting output?

The public believes that the BBC is not innovative enough and that cutting-edge programming should be a priority.

The BBC's Annual Report, published today, found that 72% of the audience rated innovation as important. However, only 51% said the BBC is performing well in this area.

News and education were the public's top two BBC priorities and both were highly praised. Entertainment programming was the audience's third priority.

Do you think the BBC is innovative and daring or predictable and boring? What kind of programmes would you like to see? Should news and education be the BBC's top priority?

the BBC needs to first look at the huge hole they have in their self acredited "imparciality". for instance leaving out cirtain things like the identity of the guy that killed the policeman, and the fact that he was anouther illegal lost by the home office. not reporting what was said by that 'sewer rat' Anjem Choudary about our royal family being a target. or the little guy from stoke beaten into a coma by a gang of muslims........report on illegals v our soldiers government housing standards.

""Why shouldn't we accept widespread Islam?

Sophie Shinigami

It's not just Islam that we don't want, it all religionism. You're all mad as hatters and believe in the most preposterous nonsense and the entire world has been at war over it for 4,000 years.

Anyone truly enlightened would have 'seen the light' by now!

Since when is a religion a race?
How is it racist to criticise a religion?

Islam isn't a race, it's a religion. And the only ones being uncivilised are those using it as an excuse to commit atrocities.

Twit - Islam is not a race.
The UK is a Christian State.
It is to our shame that Christians do not adhere to their religion and follow its teachings as much as those of other denominations.

"'Innovative? Well substituting words like 'militant' and 'radical' for 'terrorist', is pretty innovative. ...
Well said that man. "Patronising" sums it all up perfectly.'
Robert Sharr, London, United Kingdom

No. It's about reporting FACT and not bias. Robert loves bias: Robert loves other people making decisions and then follows them like an automaton.
