Have to say Rebel, when I mentioned last year that I was getting rid of my tv (and obviously not going to pay a tv licence) I got a lot of negative replies saying that I would never get the licencing authorities of my back. I made one phone call stating that I no longer have a tv and i havnt heard a thing since.
I was no longer going to pay for the sh1t that I viewed night...

Mr Murdoch will be pleased that the Government plan to under fund the BBC. Any loss in quantity and quality of BBC programmes will only benefit the SKY Empire. Mr Murdoch's newspapers constantly criticize the BBC. They also supported the Conservatives at the last election, and now we are getting policies from the Government that favour Murdoch.
101 ways to leave a game show is produced by Endemol, should imagine at the same site as Total Wipeout. Because they use a centralised point for all variations of the show (with the exception of the US version) it actually costs less even when you factor in flying out contestants than if they had dedicated sites in their own country.
Do I get value from the BBC?
I think so...
1. Cranford
2. That Mitchell & Webb Look
3. Radio 4 podcasts
4. The BBC website
5. The World service
6. 8 Out Of 10 Cats
7. Just A Minute
8. The Office
9. Extfras
10. The Royle Family
11. BBC Proms broadcast
12. Yellowstone
13. The Blue Planet
14. Wild China
15. The Thick Of It
16. Getting On
17. Life On Mars
18. Ashes To Ashes
19. Family Guy
20. The Mighty Boosh
21. Little Britain
22. Andrew Marr's History Of Modern Britain
23. Planet Earth
24. Life In Cold Blood
25. BBC iPlayer
That's obviously a completely subjective list, and others may or may not be able to list 25 things that they love about the BBC.
I don't know how the BBC would work if it became a subscription-based channel. Perhaps it would go down the route of HBO (second best channel in the world)...who knows...
It just appears that if you want a bit of quality right now...you go to the beeb. If you want a great comedy, you go to the beeb, if you want ground-breaking comedy, you go to the beeb.
I worry that if we lost the BBC as it is, all channels would be chasing the lowest common denominator...and that means wall to wall 'Animals Do The Funniest Things' and 'What Jordan Did Next'.
Horror story.

If you look at the fat cats pay list
Zarin Patel took up the role of Group Finance Director for the BBC in December 2004. Her title is now Chief Financial Officer.
She is a member of the BBC's Executive Board, reporting to Director-General, Mark Thompson.
In October 2001, Zarin became the BBC's Head of Revenue Management and was responsible for the collection of television licence fee income across the UK, which now totals £3.4bn. Under her leadership, evasion was brought to an all-time estimated low of 5%.
Wonder what the estimate is now for evasion ?
More and more people are ditching the Tv licence, stuff em let them get a proper job.

The Telegraph costs a £1 , you have a choice to buy which one you want.
Do you have a choice watching the Television
You have to pay the BBC even if you never watch it, give people a choice.
If the BBC is so good encrypt the signal let us have a choice.
Or will that leave a few lefties with a bigger bill
Even the magistrate's are getting sick of the parasites
