1. Save Heartbeat & Good Quality Drama 
Heartbeat is a long running drama originally aired in 1992, that is a clear indication of long running public support. The programme helps Goathland or Aidensfield as it known on screen be economically sustainable.
Heartbeat is now at risk!!!!
ITV needs to be shown that there is still support for this fabulous, heart warming drama, and other classic dramas such as sharpe starring the superb actor Sean Bean. & the royal which also has an individual petition on this website.
ITV are currently showing Sharpes Peril in two parts all over the UK. However STV (Scottish Television) have decided to show a Scottish based drama called Missing instead.
When I queried this with them they advise they have no intention of showing Sharpes Peril.
Ironically I pointed out to them last night that they were showing a repeat of Midsomer Murders at 9pm on a Friday night.
With audience figures dropping more frequently then ulrika johnson's knickers... it's obvious that radio 1 is in need of a major shakeup. Some have pointed toward the development and untilisation of new talent and trends. This may be the case, but without question radio 1 needs to invest in older more established talent as well to bolster the ratings.
One man waits poised in the wings, a former employee of radio 1 and currently presenting on heart...he is the man, the myth, PAT SHARPE!
His family orientated humour would no doubt herald the remergence of radio 1 listeners and increase the current profile of the station. This petition is proposing the move of the king of family based comedy PAT SHARPE taking over dave pearces drive time slot on the station. A man whose credentials shadow anyone else on radio 1 is the man needed to turn around the demise.
This petition will be promoted amongst the radio community, the concluding results will then be sent to the controller of radio one andy parfit.
