Commissioning by numbers

Joy of joys. The Sun tells us that Jason Manford is to host a BBC1 daytime quiz called Unbeatable. History will eventually note and judge the names of commissioners who have filled hours of public service broadcasting with a relentless, impoverished menu of quizzes and antique valuations.  The average age of a BBC1 viewer, when last reported, was 61.  Value for all, Tim ?

0950am update: Jason Manford says: “I know how important daytime quizzes are for a lot of people, I used to sit with my Nana Manford and mum watching them, they keep the brain going, they’re a chuckle and I’m really looking forward to being a part of this exciting brand new one. The great thing about Unbeatable is you don’t even need to know the actual answer to appear clever. I feel like this is the quiz show I’ve been waiting for my whole life.”
