I'm not at all convinced that this rebranding of ABC2 to ABC Comedy is a good idea.
Problem is, there is so much space to fill it becomes a mix of old dross with new stuff that I do want to see but which gets insufficient advertising.
Case in point - Red Dwarf XII. I only realised last week that it was running at 9.30 on a Tuesday evening, and I've only caught the last 2 episodes. (It started on 26 December, apparently.)
That show has a devoted, long standing fan base (and it cheery good nature remains pleasing, and pretty amusing, despite the stars ageing before our eyes), yet the dire Tom Ballard with his swear-like-a-bogan monologues on his awful Tonightly show, has received much more promotion.
Not at all sure recent changes of the ABC are in the right direction.
