Happy Birthday BBC Two

As you may know, I’m quite a fan of the BBC, so I think I should draw everyone’s attention to the fact that this weekend marked BBC Two’s sixtieth birthday. I think that’s quite awesome: if you ask me, alongside Channel Four and now BBC Four, the Beeb’s second channel brings us the most interesting and innovative things to watch on telly. Over the past sixty years, it has been a cultural powerhouse, although I’ll always personally remember it as the place where I first saw Star Trek. To be honest I’m slightly surprised that the BBC is not making more of this birthday. Mind you, with the rise of streaming, it’s debatable whether TV channels will be ‘a thing’ for much longer.
