Dirty fuckingl robbing bastards. You use your telly for other channels, computers etc. Yet you need a licence to have one just so you can watch BBC. Plus BBC is fucking wank. And how the fuck can you justify paying so much for one station...and all the other shite it provides whether i want it or not. How about having an actual choice an then see how many people fuck BBC off from their telly. It's like getting force fucked in the arse everytime you use the train, or a bus or whatever and then being charged for it. Robbing cunts.

Auntie is still great value after all these years - it's worth the money just to have channels without ad-breaks every 12 minutes.
Great things about the Beeb:
MOTD, bbc.co.uk, 6Music, 5live, Radio4, BBC1, 2 & 4, Radio GMR, CBeebies, CBBC, Wildlife documentaries, Panorama.

Anyone?

I think everyone of the above is shite. I should be able to choose to watch them or not.

Really? all of them shite? you can choose whether you watch them or not, it's dead easy.
 
You don't get any choice in paying for them.

The BBC is piss poor, spending millions on 'idents' of hippos or wheel chair basket ball players dancing to promote their own 'brand', plus there is as much advertising on the BBC as any other channel but they just advertise their own programmes.

How much extra will moving to Salford Quays cost?

Agreed the British institution not without flaws,but what about Newsnight, The News, Comedy, etc etc I'd rather have them than the Queen!
 
Ahem.

Mock The Week
Top Gear
Coast
Dragons Den
QI
Have I Got News For You
Friday Night with Johnathan Ross
Life On Mars
Horizon
The Sky at Night
Who Do You Think You Are
Restoration
Cold Case

Thats just the tip of my iceberg.
The BBC is looked on throughout the world as the benchmark in quality programming. TV would be a whole lot poorer if it were not for auntie.

The only one out of that i watch is Mock The Week. But that's still not the point. It's not a question of quality, lack of adverts or value for money. It's a matter of chocie. And you don't have one. I should have the choice whether or not i have the BBC on my TV. And if i decide that i don't want it then i shouldn't be forced to pay for it.
 
It's a joke that you should be FORCED into paying a TV license. What if you don't watch the BBC, fair enough it's good entertainment. However Sky is is even better entertainment and you aren't forced into paying a Sky subscription every month!

Basically the BBC is a service and no-one should be forced to pay for a service they don't want. The TV license is just another well disguised tax.
 
The BBC should be sold like all consumer goods. Those who want it can pay for it all themselves and leave those who don't want it alone. This works for everything from baked beans to Sky TV, so why not the BBC?

I don't want to contribute to dross like Eastenders, Top Gear and Casualty. So why should I?
 
I think its a fucking joke TBH.

If everybody had the choice whether to pay for it or not have it, the BBC would shut-up shot and fuck off out of existence.
 
Whilst i love most of the shows listed above top Gear MOTD etc etc it does seem a little unfair that people are forced to pay it. Especially when channel DAVE on Sky shows repeats of episodes from the BBC about 2 weeks after they were first aired. Not fair really is it ?
 
true the bbc should choose who it makes programmes for
so that they don't have to be forced to make programmes that appeal to morons
 
What makes me laugh about the BBC is that the government warns us about junk food and tells us to take more exercise but then forces us to pay for junk TV like Eastenders and Top Gear, mainly watched by burger munching couch potato idiots.

If the government was really serious about getting people off their couches and doing exercise it would stop manufacturing thousands of hours of trash TV every year for the population to goggle at.
