The thing Steve is completely missing is that there's miles more original content on Netflix than on the BBC. Netflix has had a bit of a crappy year, but the amount of original content is very good
Absolutely, which is why we have no issues paying for it. And Disney plus, I love the content on there too, just never get chance to watch much
It's a bit unrealistic to compare the BBC to Netflix or Disney. The BBC is a public service rather than just an entertainment provider. Their breadth is enormous. A good example was in the lockdown days when almost overnight it produced a whole curriculum schedule to help teach kids at home. You couldn't possibly expect something like that from a purely for profit entertainment provider like Netflix. Those have a role, and it's a different one from what the BBC do.
The license fee is obviously a strange and controversial model. It's closer to a tax than a subscription. Like other taxes, you pay for it to cover the cost of providing a public service to the country, not just for your own use of it. Personally I'd rather see it become explicitly paid for through tax and get rid of all the licence fee and associated enforcement fuss, but I have no idea how practical that'd be to do.

I don't really understand that as a point as to why it's value for money now. Lovely initiative during Covid but I still don't understand why I should have to pay for that when it's not something I consume. I'd also guarantee that there were plenty of good alternatives for teaching kids at home on YouTube which are completely free to watch. I use Youtube a lot, pretty much daily and I think it's one of the best resources/content providers around and it's completely free.
You do seem rather obsessed by Alex Scott.
What do you object to the most?
she is;
female
half black
half jewish
good looking
or all of the above?
She’s a crap presenter? Can I saw that without being cancelled?
The BBC produce the best nature programmes, the best comedy programmes, the best drama programmes, the best factual programmes and the best news output, there's a reason the BBC is by far the most watched channel in the UK.
We now have around 480 channels in the UK, yet the BBC retain over 30% market share, that's incredible and all for about £13 a month (Radio is even more impressive, the BBC still have a 47% market share, though they seem to be doing their best to reduce that on local radio).

You might never have to go to the doctors or indeed the hospital, you might never go to the library, you want to get down the utterly selfish way of pay if you use it route , just like the **** system the yanks have, and wake up, YouTube isn’t free, it is a subscription channel if you don’t want to see adverts, which are then paid for by you in the cost of the products they are advertising.
**** me there’s some thick ****s on here
Is this a poll?
I'm going for none of the above and adding 'She's Sh!t' to the possible options

She's not though, you may not personally like her, but she's not ****.
She has 140 caps for England and a degree in journalism, she's far better qualified than many of her male counterparts and despite this she's battled sexism since day one (and continues to do so).
Happy Birthday Burnsy!! 26th April was a great day to be born.
He shares his birthday with some top-drawer Icons...There's Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius,Duane Eddy,Koo Stark and Ric Glasgow

One man's meat is another man's poison.I happen to think she's **** and it's got absolutely nothing to do with sexism(or racism for that matter).
I don’t think she is very good. And any suggestions I have anything against people because they are black just shows how little you know me and that people who have known me for over 50 years could put you right on that. And, unlike some on here, I am pro Jewish. There are good female presenters but she is, in my opinion, not one of them. I am not as obsessed by her as Hellmand who thinks she is so good looking it is worth employing her just for that fact.
