Younger generations are ruining television far more than women are. Networks and television shows try to appeal to a "younger" audience. What they really mean when they say that is a "dumber" audience. Very few shows presume that the viewer has even the cognitive capacity to turn on the TV to begin with, let alone comprehend complex story arcs and subtle character development.

Who watches TV anymore?
I can't say much about BBC but.
I don't know, personally I think recent drama series (like late 80s 90s and very recent times) are much more hard hitting then the stuff they use to have back like 40 or 50 years ago, the story also has gotten more complex and some of them deal with very contemporary issues, more so then what they use to. I also think what constituted "political correctness" is a moving target. I mean, back in the old days, its all about showing basic family unit with each character play their perspective gender/social roles, with occasional stereotypical social "outcast" thrown in the mix to show that they are for diversity but only perpetuates an over simplification of reality. That's not to say there are no ground breaking TV shows that rise above all that in the old days, just saying that people tend not to remember the media wasteland that was the early Television.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
