The BBC

In the T household we’ve used the bbc quite a lot over the turkey-eating season.

I got to thinking about value for money compared to other streaming services and concluded that for us, the bbc is well worth the licence fee.

Watched a lot more than usual terrestrial ‘live’ tv - news, sport, fillums, documentaries, weather.

Radio 2 in the car, Radio 6 in the house.

First website I look at in the morning (sorry RTG!), news, sport, weather, articles. Being an exile if I want avoid the doom and gloom of the match day thread, the bbc page is what I have up.

On iplayer we’ve watched Ghosts, the English, Motherland, Cunk on, Detectorists, Dark Materials, Repair Shop, various fillums, Inside No9, Am I Being Unreasonable, Top Gear, Digging for Britain, MoTD … the list goes on…

Be a shame to lose Auntie Beeb imho, there’s a lot of quality stuff that wouldn’t get commissioned on other platforms.
 
I hardly watch BBC, aside from World Cups and European Championships. Occasional fa cup games. Very rarely watch MOTD now.

That being said I don't begrudge the licence fee, I look at the stuff on the commercial channels and its certainly no better. I know plenty benefit from the documentaries and stuff
 
Worth the licence fee for TMS and World Service alone and yes I know you don't need a license to listen to the radio.
 
Its still pretty good but the drama has degenerated a bit since the inclusion agenda . Its like diversity bingo sometimes " aaand theres the gay disability character " worse than channel 4 for shoehorning characters in now . At least 4 make the characters and their specific lives relevant in the story .
