Different kinds of shows?

One of the things that's interested me about the last show is how people's views vary - particularly when you look at the split between long-term TCC viewers and newbies.

I'v now produced, I think around 45 (yes, 45!) half-hour caravanning shows, mostly with all new content, although by my reckoning that 22 hours includes around 4 hours (total) repeated material, spread across several winter shows.

The programmes have settled down into a groove which lets me produce material that works for me, and that seems to work for most of our viewers - but the biggest problem we have is with new viewers, who come along, watch one programme that works in the context of the series, but maybe doesn't work as well on its own. They then make what I think are out-dated suggestions, essentially because they haven't watched any other shows in the series!

The reality of course, is that in the 40-odd programmes we've covered almost everything - and some in real depth, others in less depth.

So in future, whensomeone comes along and says whatever, I think my response will be "if you've only watched one show, watch more. Don't look at us like ordinary entertainment TV - we ain't!"
