Re: BBC TV Licence
The sooner the licence fee is scrapped, the better.

No more using our money to spend on public art/corporate entertaining/taxis to the hairdressers for Kirsty Wark...and no more bloody money for Jonathon Ross and Graham Norton!

I agree that more care should be taken on spending our fees but am glad of the BBC -if only for the fact that I dont get a sore thumb from pressing the mute button during ads (most of which are horrendous and overloud)

Why not, " it is not the 'done' thing old boy, why soil our hands with 'blood' money when the 'peasants' are stupid enough to pay".

We get ads now on the BBC, for their own programmes.

On average five minutes per hour of broadcasting.

Re: BBC TV Licence
Shame they really have u by the goolies cos without a tv licence u cant own a tv [technically] by law, so u cant even bypass the darn BBC - like they own tv's or something !! Personally i think they are rubbish in standard than ITV/CH4 etc for programmes & innovation in ideas & drama's, only time i watch the beeb is for occasional footy [if on] & eastenders.

Re: BBC TV Licence
Thats when i stop paying for a tv licence. Because i wont be receiving it. I dont get channel 5 because of where i live. I refuse to pay for sky just for the sake of getting bbc1 etc. Freeview boxes dont work here because we are out of line of the signal.
