The BBC


The BBC was created at a time when Britain had something to say to the world. That is not the case now so the BBC isn't much more than a relic these days imho.
 
Think all of the great comedies that would have binned off after a series if the name of the game was ad revenues

Blackadder and only fools and horses for starters

It makes some great program which wouldn't make the light if day if it relied on add revenue for funding. Anyone knocking it should look at the programmes on itv2, and itvb and think themselves lucky we still have the beeb. If I was prime minister I'd find a way to ring fence it to guarantee it's funding for the next 50 years plus
 
Thought you didn’t pay it? 🧐
I don't as i don't watch live TV do keep up Davey. They however go out their way to bully and persecute vulnerable women and those having financial difficulties . Great set of lads eh, you should be proud of licking their boots.
 
Said this a million times now, but while £140 seems decent enough (£12/month) it adds up an extrodiary way to give the BBC a budget of £4 billion quid a year.
Which is an absolutely crazy amount of money imo.

Netflix's entire budget for the world is about £15bn, so only 3.5 times more.


BBC imo should concern itself with making innovative TV, pushing technology, great news and journalism and making new, riskier content that wouldn't be made if ad revenues / subscriptions were the driving factor.
Things like Blackadder through to more recent examples like Detectorists. Rather than paying celebs to dance, or talent shows.

It caters for everyone though so ultimately they've got to make programs to suit all needs and tastes.

Eh?!

For someone who says they neither interact with any bbc services or pay the licence fee you’re very angry about it! 😀

You’ve chosen to do that so good for you!

No need for name calling and nastiness.
