Surely you could apply that argument to any programme produced by the BBC?
Why bother with soaps, other channels do them. Why bother with quiz shows,
breakfast shows, daytime tv? Why bother with news when the other channels
have news too?


Because by focussing on the areas that the commercial outlets do not
broadcast, or do not broadcast well, the BBC can do better for less
cost to the Llicence payer.

Among my friends who watch it, The Voice seems to be considered better than
the competing talent shows; better format, better talent.

But the BBC could excel at News, Current Affairs, Commedy,
Documentaries Costume Dramas, etc.
