Half-hearted

The headline indicates the problem."BBC reveals new coming-of-age programming". This rather coy approach is symptomatic of cautious commissioning.

What they mean is that they're clustering a series of box sets of new programmes aimed at 12-15 year-olds. Some of them look quite good. With a bit of bleeping, they should be going out in daytime on BBC1 or 2, as well as sitting in a corner of the iPlayer. Bet lots of adults used to watch Crackerjack and Top of the Form. Cancel a few antiques shows, please.
