Interesting to read all this, frankly I just wouldn't miss broadcast television anyway.
I'm part of a merry little band of nuts who have recorded my favourite shows since oh 1978 so with nothing really worth watching today its nice to go back to the old stuff for some nostalgia. I've had a TV licence every year but is it worth anything to me...no.

Don't know about the rest of you but old cynical me can see right through these reality shows for what they are and the days of any sort of real variety is long gone. When I look back at the old black and white (think we can still say that) TV recordings like the Crazy Gang on the Variety Show you can see the talent of experienced entertainers unlike todays contrived tripe and the licence cost sure aint worth what we are landed with today.

Its so sad to see older folk getting marginalised and under valued in Britain's society and the removal of the already instigated TV licence would be just another example.

The beeb waists so much money, does Strictly Come Dancing need two presenters??
