BBC To Ditch "Tomorrow's World"

Posted by Hemos on from the replacing-the-past-with-tomorrow dept.

Pipsicola writes "The BBC news site reports their decision to ditch the Popular science show, Tomorrows World , after 30 years. It may not have had the most bleeding edge content (we often dubbed it 'Yesterdays World' ...), but it was one of the few programmes which fired the imagination of young British nerds. Several generations of Britain's scientists and technologists grew up watching TM. Lets hope the BBC fulfills its promise to replace it with more science-based shows using a different format. Which formats have worked in other countries I wonder?"

    The BBC news site reports their decision to ditch the Popular science show, Tomorrows World , after 30 years.

    from the article:

    Tomorrow's World, the BBC's long-running popular science programme, has been dropped from its weekly TV slot after almost 40 years

    Would it have been so hard to take a peek at the article, Hemos?
