The BBC is the best in the world at what it does well. I’ll leave it to others to decide what they think that includes.

100% agree on Breakfast TV. Endless non news stories these daysIt's a shame about the football content on the website and breakfast TV has gone a bit shit with their pretend conversations about the news but they still do some outstanding drama, comedy and wildlife documentaries.

Err, excuse me?!Line of duty is coming back soon apparently.
That’d be excellent!
Btw, for a foreigner who may or may not be able to watch iPlayer, what great crime/drama/noir series are there to catch?

I dislike them intensely as an organisation for multiple reasons. The majority of their programming is banal and cliched. They do occasionally broadcast some gems though. Currently, Wolf Hall is as good as it gets. Bleak House the Dickens adaptation was very good. Happy Valley, Line of Duty until it got silly. These diamonds are increasingly rare though

Not on TV, but Radio 5 never stops advertising itself and ads for BBC iPlayer are all over the bloody place. Not as bad as ITV advertising ITVX though.No awful adverts!

Ok, I hear you.
Instead of listening to Radio 5, stick LBC on. The adverts will drive you absolutely nuts. Endless McDonalds, solicitor’s ’who care’, energy firms, betting and gambling adverts. It’s so bad, it feels like they want you to switch channels!
Give me BBC every day of the week (apart from Tony Livesey)!

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.
