[why me? Blue Manchester]

Don’t mind the odd quiz show but yes to all the rest, the amount of times I’ve watched “normal” tv in the last year is probably less than a dozen.

Yes, not often I watch mainstream TV anymore as its a load of shite
The odd boxset and movies for me now

Hahah what is this shit?

Written by students, believed by imbeciles, reported by shills.

Those in receipt of Pension Credit on a low income are still eligible. Whilst the salaries of those you mention may well be obscene, they are in line with what other broadcasters pay their stars.

The number of pensioners eligible for pension credit will be insignificant because the BBC wouldn't support it otherwise and broadcasters who make money from advertising are entitled to pay what they wish. As someone who isn't entitled to pension credit I find it ridiculous having to pay for something I rarely watch because I sometimes watch live football on other channels.

It is no part of the remit of the BBC to match salaries in the private sector. The argument that the most talented would desert the BBC is specious: (a) So what? (b) There are thousands of talented people who would be delighted to get a job at the BBC at far lower salaries than are paid now.

And they've just criminalised abortion. Not the most forward facing nation.

Can't think of a much bigger limit to a womans human rights than this.

Full report on livarpools match vs leipzig on BBC, not even a mention of our tour or matches in the US. Joke organisation, the sooner its privatised the better.

Soaps, Talent Shows, Reality, Quiz after Quiz, bloody Ant & Dec - what happened to proper entertainment?

Those 'entertainment' shows cost a fraction to make than does quality drama or suchlike. Also sadly, what the masses seem to crave nowadays too.
