Positive BBC thread

I guess at least if we've got a thread for discussing the BBC, people will stop demanding their defunding in every other thread

lol, though as this is a positive BBC thread I’m not sure those posters would have anything to add here!
There are plenty of other “the BBC is shite because of …” threads ;-)

To be honest it would be about as popular as a "Positive things about Donald Trump" thread ;-)

It doesn't appear to be stopping them though

The problem the beeb has is that the best indicator that they are getting it right in terms of even handed news and politics coverage is that everyone thinks they are getting it wrong, which often seems to be the case. Left wing people seem to think the BBC is a 'tory tool' and RW people seem to think it's a voice for the 'woke' liberal/left. The fact that neither side thinks the BBC does them justice means they are probably getting it about right.
All the calls for them to be less biased, more independent and defunded seem to come from hopelessly biased commercial operators who have an axe to grind and half their output is advertising.

You might be right pal. Tbh that’s why I started the thread, to see if it was really everyone else on here who thinks that apart from me. If no one else adds to my OP with any other positives, then I guess you’ll be proved right!

Yep, shows listed as an hour generally have at least 57 mins of content I’d say.
