Arguably, I feel like BBC Three has all but become BBC Choice in not name but output. BBC Three back in the 00's put out absolute treasurable shows, and while there were a few duds here and there, it was a channel that was able to at least experiment and create wholly British-original shows.

Now, it hardly feels like it has an output of it's own. It seems to just be repeats of what you can already watch on iPlayer, and while personally I wouldn't mind the usage of Three as a "catch-up service", in many cases Doctor Who and Top Gear fans used the channel for that, BBC Choice launched... trying to find a purpose in it's existence as a digital-only channel with hardly any viewers and the only thing it could afford to do was repeat shows from BBC One and BBC Two.

It's 2023, and with BBC Three readily accessible on iPlayer, does BBC Three really serve a public need if most of it's output is just that?
