Some of the BBC's long standing and most loved programmes could be about to face the axe. It has been suggested favourites such as Bargain Hunt, Gardeners' World, Sky at Night, Points of View, Cash in the Attic and Homes Under the Hammer could be under threat. The National Audit Office found that an internal BBC review "recommended retiring more shows" which would "free up slots for new ideas". Are these shows past their best? Are there other shows that you would retire? Or is it a case that they are part of the fabric of the TV schedule? Commentator Heidi McAlpin and TV Critic Toby Earl discuss.
