Re: This is the BBC.
One hand:kiddy fiddlers, other hand: a really good institution that provides valuable service.
I think they should replace and prosecute those in bbc involved in all the scandals and let the bbc keep running, just under increased scrutiny, no need to punish the majority of the employees who were uninvolved with it all.
Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

I agree they should root out the enablers but why should I have to pay for this clearly vile and corrupt entity with my TV license? Let them go to subscription only. After all, as they keep telling us, they are the best broadcaster in the world, so millions will willingly sign up.
Not.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Advertising drives me crazy. I hate it. The BBC produces the best range of programmes in the world.

Re: This is the BBC.
Making the BBC pay to view (via subscriptions) or worse forcing them to advertise would simply hand control of our Media over to Sky - none of the other providers have a chance of competing with Sky and the only reason the BBC does is public funding
Do you want to hand Sky a monopoly?
Re: This is the BBC.
Couldn't give a monkeys chuff to be honest. I dont have SKY and never will. However if I dont hand over my cash to the BBC I go to gaol, directly to gaol. I fundamentally abhor being forced to pay for these people.Do you want to hand Sky a monopoly?

Re: This is the BBC.
Think about it in a wider context.
A lot of advertisement-payed content is reality shows and other uneducational, useless drivel.
If you remove the last somewhat decent TV programme from the masses, your country will go even faster down the gutter.

Re: This is the BBC.
...No, you hand over money to the government and they give it to the BBC, if they didnt give it to the bbc they'd give it to something else you probably dislike.

What I got from this thread is that IA thinks he's not the one paying for ad-funded media.
That made me chuckle.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
