I think it's outrageous that we have no choice, we have a tv, therefore we need to pay for a service we may not even use.
We pay over a hundred pounds, yet what they consider to be their best programmes air first on the digital channels, only available at extra cost.
The government has just decided the Beeb will be funded this way for the next ten years, but warned them to improve the quality of their programmes. This is just after they paid 3 million pounds to poach Graham Norton from Channel 4. After spending our money, and not knowing what to do with him, they're getting him to front a spin off of Come Dancing.
There must be loads of talent out there who'd love to work, and bring something new to our screens for a fraction of the cost.
I like Graham Norton by the way, as he let me shoot my ping pong ball on his show!
