Please sign this even if your not in the UK.
BBC 3 wasn't afraid to experiment and many great shows came out of it.

*Points and laughs at thread*...
No...Not signing...I will be happy when it stops darkening my EPG with its endless repeats of Snog, Marry, Avoid?...And "Oh I'm on a tv show being filmed going away on holiday to be a slut and wouldn't it be hilarious if my parents could see me now...Oh, wait they can!"...
The casual cancellation of Doctor Who Confidential and the total failure to pick up This Is Jinsy, which is the most original and funniest comedy to come around in years disgusted me...
I shan't miss BBC3...
However, in the interests of Galactic Peace™ I appreciate that you enjoyed a good many of the comedies that it produced...And like that sort of thing so, fair enough...So fair dues on finding the petition thing...

"BBC Three has produced exciting, original television programming for 16-34 year olds since 2002. It has been a launchpad for programmes like Being Human, Torchwood, Russell Howard's Good News, Mighty Boosh, Bad Education, Gavin and Stacey, and Little Britain. Unlike other BBC channels it takes risks. It offers live debates and documentaries. It is also the channel for young people to go to for live music - something which is often relegated from the other main BBC television channels. Where else would dedicated coverage of Reading and Leeds, T In The Park, and Radio 1's Big Weekend fit if it was not on BBC Three? The red button has already faced cuts on Freeview."
I think you're wrong.

I, quite genuinely...Don't care what you think...
With the exception of the Boosh there's not a single programme there that I have the slightest interest in...Including the music...
Torchwood started out as good and then just fell to crap...
Again, I will not mourn BBC3...
The simple reasoning is, if the young people want to watch the stuff, they're quite capable - evidently - of finding it online...
The BBC will save £30 MILLION a year by closing it...This frees up the money to go into programmes which are watched by more people per episode than watch BBC3 per week...
And again, if you read it properly, I conceded that you liked it...I was merely stating my point...
Hey Subrosa, I missed you...

When I heard what was happening to BBC3, I was kinda pissed for a minute.
Then I remembered that the only thing I've watched on it in the last few years has been repeats of Top Gear.
Now, 90% of the time I check the tv guide I look at what's on BBC3 and shudder.

Keep it friendly guys. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Personally I've never heard of BBC3 (maybe because I'm American?)and the only title I recognized was the Mighty Boosh which I'll admit was fairly entertaining.
