August on UK Gold

I have just read UK Gold's August tv listings on idigitalsales.co.uk and am disgusted at what I read.
1. The weekday run of Dallas has stopped completely. I remember similar action was taken by UK Gold back in 2000 after JR had been shot, the 5pm showing was cut but UK Gold did continue with the 11am showing until the completion of the series. All UK Gold seemed to be interested in was showing the series until the shooting of JR
2. Fantasy Island has disappeared completely
3. The Bill is no longer on at all?? How many years have UK Gold been showing this series at 9am for.......
4. No sign of old Doctor Who but new Dr Who (Eccleston/Tennant) seems to be on all the time
I do however (falsely) hope there are explanations for this such as:
1. Perhaps the above series are destined for UK Drama
2. Will UK Drama show The Bill from the early 1990s onwards and Dr Who from 1970 or before.
I have finally given up on UK Gold ever returning to what it once was. I hope they are ready for a backlash...
