We encourage audience feedback. You are able to give feedback during the trial period using the 'Rate' feature or by contacting us at taster@bbc.co.uk. The 'Rate' and 'Share' features help the ±«Óãtv create new ideas of interest to our audiences.

Taster does not necessarily represent the ±«Óãtv's future plans. Some ideas may only be available during the trial period and the ±«Óãtv may choose to commission alternative ideas and content.
