Positive BBC thread

Shite.
When I saw the title, I thought it’d been closed down !

Not a fan of the BBC. Very inconsistent quality, particularly in respect of 'comedy' shows. As the national broadcaster, it should never have lost live coverage of international sporting competitions.
It's a third rate service compared to 40 years ago. Put it out of It's misery.

They have an annual estimated income of £5.5 billion and people think it's good value because they made Vicar Of Dibley once, we hear constantly that the left and right are unhappy with their political bias but yet the left constantly defend it in their droves.

End it, end it now :)

The BBC sometimes get things right and sometimes get things wrong, show me any business that doesn't (okay scum fc are just plain wrong so they don't count)

A huge stain on their supposed values with Savile and his ilk that should never be forgotten.

Then they go and produce stunning programmes Asia - the current Attenborough instant classic - was superb on Sunday.

Then you get Mrs Browns Boys - they really do sublime to ridiculous on a truly epic scale.

Last night was superb though - that **** Clarkson being made to look an even bigger **** by Victoria Derbyshire on the news.

Didn't she end up marrying the less twatty one from masterchef? think they do a saturday cooking show that has hostage video vibes but it's not entirely clear who wants to bury who under the patio.

On topic. Is the BBC perfect? No. Is it better than large swathes of the shite out there. imo Yes. When I look at some of the political figures who'd like to see it gone, it tells me all I need to know.

She won the 2010 sleb version before going on to fillet John Torode's Kipper for a few years.

Apologies for veering off topic but ITVX must be the absolute worst for adverts. Makes YouTube look like they hardly bother with them.

I very rarely watch any ‘live’ non sport TV. But the kids wanted to watch a film the other day and I fired it up on ITVX just because it was the first suggestion.

My God, a 90 minute film must have lasted the best part of three hours.

I tried to watch something on ITVX once, never again, most of the "on-demand" channels are the same.

Would you be happy with a substantial increase in the licence fee to allow the BBC to bid for coverage of international sporting competitions ?

Whatever you do or don't think of the BBC, people probably undervalue it - I think there's been a couple of studies where people who say they don't like it/want to pay for it agree to be completely cut off from it. In one of them I think within 10 days two thirds had changed their minds; the other study was similar I think.

The BBC got priced out of much live sport by Sky, who everyone also hates. Go figure.
