No, otherwise we'd be down the path of the yanks with free for all sensationilist crap and full on political war when elections are due. I suppose there is point re: having an "independent" service, although I do believe that we pay too much for it, especially for the use which is negligible in my house. I also think Sky is taking the urine but their sports coverage is top notch (along with the numerous knowledge channels) and is pretty much my viewing habit. When the beeb get their arses into gear and make stuff like "Planet Earth" etc then I do accept it's money well spent, and funding Ricky Gervais' constantly good output:) Edited by no.6 |

I think the licence fee is a bargain. I don't watch much tv either, but when I consider how much I use the website and listen to the radio I certainly feel that I get my money's worth. I think the BBC is always having to find a precarious balance between producing quality broadcasting on the one hand, and chasing the ratings on the other. Thinking about it, without the licence fee, whole genres of broadcasting would surely die a death: no-one would make radio documentaries, for example.

The BBC is IMO very cheap. I don't watch an awful lot of TV but the BBC content I do consume (Radio 4, BBC online, BBC News, TMS, The Thick of it) I'd pay double for. |

even if you could argue corporal punishment isn't a deterrent, i'd be quite happy to watch a person hang in front of me for taking a life. i'd pull the lever myself. call me medieval but i'd be quite happy to see him suffer in some horrific way before he swings.
