If the government did away with the TV license you could bet your sweet life that it would find some other way to extort money out of us to fund the BBC and invariably it would be more than the current cost.
Simple, the BBC should stand or fall in the market place just like every other broadcasting company, and it is financed by the licence fee whatever you say.

I make it that Alan Titchmarsh will say 'hello/goodbye from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show supported by Saga Insurance' twenty two times this week.

Priceless.
