The article on the BBC Three website entitled 'Beware of the DOG' www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthr... is extremely patronising and downright offensive. How dare the BBC take an issue that some licence payers are concerned about and try to turn it into a laughing matter. How dare they assume that anyone who complained about the new BBC Three DOG is not concerned about recent events in London nor any other world issues. The BBC will be lucky if they have not insulted someone who has recently lost a friend, relative or neighbour in the London attacks. They should be absolutley ashamed of themselves and apologise to everyone for airing such degrading opinions.

The BBC is there to serve the viewers that pay for it and should take every viewers opinions into account. They should be taking the DOG issue seriously, and they should know that for every one person concerned enough to complain, another ten will sit back and wait for someone else to sort it out.

Come on BBC you were defeated on this issue once before when you tried to deface programmes on BBC One and Two, so just give up now because the Great British public do not want THEIR programmes defaced like this.

Yes, I'm so angry,, I could crush a grape.

If everyone else is using them, then perhaps the BBC would make more of a statement by not having a DOG, and in the multichannel world of junk on screen, perhaps people would quickly identify BBC services by the non appearance of junk on screen.

I don't know about everyone else but I can be cross about 2 or more things at once.

lol - I think we are unanimous on this one - rarely have I seen such harmony of views on a thread

Is this a case of the tail wagging the dog?

Woof Woof

What amazes me is that my digital remote controller (and I presume everyone else with digital has the same facility), has a button which immediately flashes up on the screen;

The number and name of the channel I am watching.

The current programme with its start and finish time.

What is on next plus its start and finish time.

The current time.

If I can strain myself to press another button I can see what's on other channels.

Why do I need any station idents?

It's probably a good job I don't work for the BBC, or there would be lots of articles like this. Certainly, I think the tone of it fits BBC Three's stated target audience. Rather than the people who seem to tune in for the specific purpose of being annoyed so they get to complain.

Hi

We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy about this content on the BBC3 website.

Please make a complaint about this issue via the BBC Complaints website here: www.bbc.co.uk/compla...

The complaints site allows you to send a complaint to the BBC on any aspect of our organisation. You can also search and read through some of the responses to previous complaints - the issue that concerns you may already have been raised and responded to.

If you go via the complaints site your complaint will reach the relevant team and managers and will be logged; it's more effective than trying to email people directly.

It might be more effective e-mailing Media Guardian, Broadcast, Daily Mail and The Sun because these media outlets would be more likely to give the BBC a kick up the ass.
