Mr Mosey, the former head of BBC Television News, said that quiz shows and programmes about antiques and cookery are consuming the majority of daytime TV, at the expense of news output. "If you look now at some of the things playing on BBC One at prime time - I'm a journalist so I'm biased and I think news is important," Mr Mosey told Iain Dale's Book Club podcast. "But that programme Unbreakable, with the bloke who's in everything, is both terrible - it got one star reviews - and is also getting 800,000 viewers in peak time.' Beckett's show aims to show the intimate side of British TV personalities with tests to challenge their relationships.){kind=link}
