My music teacher at school played piano in a Songs of Praise service and the equivalent ITV show, can't remember the name of it. He said the BBC paid ã5 and had 7 mics; ITV paid ã15 and had 2 mics.
I seriously haven't watched a BBC program in it's entirety in about 5 years - yet the ****s force me to have a license. I was living in Malta and kept my house in Belfast on, which was empty 48 weeks a year - and they still forced me to have a license because it had a tv in it. Channel 4 is the only terrestrial channel I give any time to and the only BBC service I really use is their website, which they are winding back while still charging me the same amount of money. The older I get the further to the right I am creeping. Sack all the bastards and let the market dictate what I pay for.
Why do I hate the bbc? Alan Green,the MOTD pundits,all the soaps theyve ever done,teletubbies,graham norton,jonathon Woss,live bowls,the world service,the archers,All the ****ing dimbelbys,the ****ing test card,a few of the Dr Whos who were ****e,CBeebies,University challenge,Songs of praise,Countryfile,The Sky at night(its black with ickle stars in it nuff said)and the po faced supercilious twats at bbc606 who think their my daddy!
