BBC Two: a safe harbor for intellectual curiosity.
It has built quite a distinct niche for itself as the more cerebral and intellectually stimulating cousin of the BBC. Documentaries, art, and culture are central to its output, thus letting it appeal even to the brightest and sharpest minds. Their inventive shows have found a natural home on this channel, often pushing the boundaries and venturing into places where many other broadcasters would not. From thought-provoking and incisive current affairs programs to the best in groundbreaking drama and comedy, BBC Two has built a reputation for quality and originality. Unable to pull in audiences of quite the same size as sister channel BBC One, it is an important channel in the country’s cultural life—a platform for many diverse voices and perspectives.
