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.
For the first time in ages I looked at the BBC news website earlier and it justified me not bothering with it for quite some time.
I can only imagine how bad Sky News website is.
Can anyone on this thread explain to me why a discussion about the licence fee has degenerated into a hateful, nasty, ad-hominem fest?
It's got me completely baffled. If supposed grown ups can get so riled up about a subject like that then they need to grow the fck up and get some perspective.
This place is seriously going down the tubes because of posters who can't have rational and calm discussions. It's OK to disagree without being vile to each other...
That’s down to the increased element of vile people on this forum.
Just stick them on ignore, it enhances the experience somewhat.
Hope that helps.
