Despite starring Hollywood star Richard Gere the latest episode of the BBC2 drama MotherFatherSon was seen by just over a half a million viewers, that figure made BBC2 rank last of the 5 main channels in the time slot. The drama sees Gere playing a media mogul who finds himself at the centre of various traumatic events. The failure of MotherFatherSon brings to mind the failure last year of BBC1's Press another drama about newspapers. Perhaps the subject is not for viewers tastes.
