Same with BBC TV. Programmes with several presenters when one would suffice. Far too much money wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After completing the online form requesting demanding my personal details, I was forced to sit through adverts before the show began. I've never hit the off button on the remote so fast. Wot? Adverts on ITV? Giooer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could’ve tolerated a couple of adverts when the programme was underway, but being forced to sit through at least two adverts right at the very start? After I’d already compromised my privacy by creating an ITV user account ? Not me sunshine. I’m not prepared to compromise my principles for a stupid TV show Edited January 23, 2022 by The Joker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I agree money is being wasted and needs to be spent more wisely, but l still think we need a British Broadcasting Corporation for all sorts of reasons. It's about more than entertainment and more than profits which is all that commercial TV cares about. The original Lord Reith agenda; to inform, educate, and entertain, is still an excellent standard to aspire to, sadly lacking when bums on seats are all that counts.

Guest Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Three seasons of the Radio 4 drama/podcast The Lovecraft Investigations by Julian Simpson is worth the licence fee alone. Everyone go listen to it right now. You won't regret it. Hope there's more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top4718 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Not bothered how the BBC goes about being funded in the future as long as it no longer costs me anything, I wouldn't shed a tear if it vanished for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron99 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 As the piece states, like an episode of 'W1A'. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1554563/bbc-news-diversity-woke-spending-bbc-licence-fee/amp And £267,000 a year for a 3 day working week? Wonder if its too late for a career at the BBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
