any shows that people enjoy from the bbc could easily jump ship to another station it happens all the time in america and theres plenty of channels a show can find a home if its wanted

its an absolute disgrace that the bbc is still allowed to operate the way it does .There is no place for it in the modern world of media

hundreds of channels in the UK yet only the BBC demands we pay them money

Your forgetting one thing that money collected is actually a licence to own a device that will received transmissions, what or where those transmissions come from has nowt to do with it, the fact that it is given to the BBC was decided Donkeys years ago, when all we had was steam radio, when the box in the corner arrived the fee was upped, and eventually the steam radio licience was dropped, I've now had the freebee for nigh on 10 years I seldom watch live TV other than the news at six, I don't think I've ever seen the end, its like a sleeping medicine. I record documentaries and such, and watch them when her indoors has gone to bed, other than that most of the stuff on the box is sh11te especially them so called soaps, I can't understand the mentallity of soap watchers, and their gullability in thinking its real.
