With regards to the axing of The Film Review, are there any TV cultural reviews left on the BBC? If you look at what they had ten years ago...

- The Review Show - axed 2014
- The Culture Show - axed 2015
- Film... - axed 2018
- The Film Review - axed 2022

Maybe they'll start showing all editions of Talking Movies on the News channel, though I do wonder how long that itself will last. But almost an entire category of programming has just disappeared.

While it is a loss, you do have to consider that these days, online reviews are the primary means which potential audiences are getting their recommendations for films. However, I would say that such programmes are still valuable. A written review online, or delivered on a youtube video delivered by someone who may not have the the same credentials as, say, Barry Norman pales in comparison.
