Partly good news. I don't have HD so will they be doing the same for standard def.?

Good news, but again I don't understand why this applies only to films and drama.

BBC deems the other programme categories to be less valuable?

All DOGs should be removed. they serve NO purpose, except to wind up the viewer.
I don't need reminding which channel I'm watching. I know because i'm watching it!
Maybe there is someone out there who has suffered screen burn could sue the TV companies and that may make them think twice about using them.

Watched Larkrise and Carnforth on BBC 1 rather than HD because of the logo
