When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter โ€œstory selectionโ€ and โ€œother types of output, such as dramaโ€, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left?
All the shifts are in just one direction.

An incongruous patch of astroturf set into a carefully tended green sward in front of crag covered in a birchwood glowing brilliant green in the spring sunshine. Trucks pass by on the highway at the foot of the crag.

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. ๐Ÿงต

Blue skies over Cairngorm; a layer of altocumulus fractures the rays beaming down on Glenmore from a glaring sun, now high in the sky in early March. Pity about that weedy birch tree that blocks the view. I could easily have moved to the side to avoid it but I would have had to get up off my rockโ€ฆ

The view from a window, looking across a street to a distant landscape with a vivid, orange sunrise lighting up a winter morning, with snow on the ground. A model ship is displayed on the windowsill, silhouetted against the light and bracketed by seashells.

Sunrise shadow selfie with sailing ship. 
The dawn rises over the hills, casting a warm light on the wall, and the shadow of a model sailing boat which sits on the windowsill. I step into the frame and angle my iphone to capture a self portrait composition.
