Caravanner of the Year on BBC this April!

As usual there is deafening silence from Grimstead on this subject.  It would help our understanding if the chairman or his deputies could explain the rationale behind those two TV programmes.

I have no doubt that we will see a raft of letters in the next CC Magazine supporting and extoling the programme. Will we see any of the postings from this thread......dont think so. If the news is all positive then this will clearly demonstrate how far removed from the membership are the management of the CC.

It is very clear some posters on this thread are niaive when it comes to the making of TV programmes! The BBC commissioned it and thus control EVERYTHING IN IT! The CC probably had little say in the edit or contestants. My only criticism of the contestants is some of the woeful driving/towing skills and hope the CC gave them all a free towing course! As I have posted previously the contestants are largely blameless and the 'winner' clearly a decent couple. 

Do you need to shout to get your point across Flatcoat?

Typical off the cuff answer, with no knowledge of the commissions procedure of the BBC , or maybe a BBC hating ,Daily Mail reader 

An idea of this kind would have to be pitched to the BBC, by an outside interest. probably the Caravan club

The BBC  then would decide on the idea ,probably after  a meeting with the outside party. probably the caravan club. if the BBC thinks the idea has merit, and fit with their mix of programmes.  The BBC  will either at that  point agree , or tell  the outside  interested party, probably the caravan club,  to develop  the idea further ,and come back, and pitch they idea again  

If the outside interested parties idea , probably the Caravan club, idea is taken up by the BBC   The outside interested parties idea , probably the Caravan club would then go away, and as in this case, produce a programme, using an out side production company

The BBC would then view the programme ,and would engage in discussion with the outside party and  producers, if they though  changes etc, may be needed .

So NO the BBC is not to blame  

As usual there is deafening silence from Grimstead on this subject.  It would help our understanding if the chairman or his deputies could explain the rationale behind those two TV programmes.

The information you crave was actually available in an interview with Nick Lomas 8 months ago - see You Tube video:

Write your comments here...We've all seen that one ages ago.  -- 

What we would like, would be, in light of the two TV programmes, that the chairman or his deputies could explain the rationale behind their particular choice of tasks and exactly how those particular tasks determined who was the best caravaner in the UK.

Blimey - it's like prodding a sponge!

"We've all seen that one ages ago." - really? You've checked with all 1M members? That's quite a feat!! (PS it's only been viewed 1,211 times  )

"What we would like, would be....." - is your "we" also on behalf of all 1M members, or just a royal "we"?

I for one can't recall being consulted on what I would like

Apparently there has been another BBC programme in similar vein featuring people who stay in Bed and Breakfast establishments.  Did anyone see it?

Write your comments here...There  was a programme that subject on TV yesterday.  Noticed it as I flicked through the channels to get to the news.  

Not really riveting TV.  Might suit those who loved Caravanner of the Year though.
