"We are sorry to learn that you did not enjoy our OB coverage from Windsor of the Armed Forces Tribute to HM the Queen.
There are many technical challenges in broadcasting such a large ceremony live from a number of locations as in this instance, and some perhaps were apparent, but there have been few other complaints from that perspective and the BBC considers it on the whole to have been successful.
As to production values, the BBC is a national broadcaster that is financed directly by all its viewers. It feels strongly in particular that children and young people should not feel excluded from such a national event and that is why they were specifically included. We will continue to endeavour that they remain so.
Thank you for your interest and in communicating your concerns with us"

OK, it's not from the Beeb but what I've cobbled up in anticipation. I don't expect their reply will be that much different. Just sufficient to say "knob off fellah, we don't give a stuff what you think", without addressing any specific criticisms. The Beeb will never change itself, it is only their paymasters that will do that. Who are they? Good question! Very good question!
