With super inflation in drama production, the cost of the programme has increased significantly and further investment is also now required to refurbish the site where the show is made, or to relocate it to another home.”
“With a flat licence fee, the BBC’s funding challenges mean we have to make tough choices in order to deliver greater value to audiences,” they revealed. Elsewhere on the BBC. Shayne is currently competing in strictly-come-dancing>Strictly Come Dancing and made his debut last weekend with his partner Nancy Xu.
