It seems I voted for the three most popular option as of now - make them follow their charter (no chance whilst politicians are involved) and kill or gag certain presenters - again not going to happen but I'm sure I recall a time when the BBC was the pride of the country and not a w

e to celebrity and Marxism.I think the BBC is one of the greatest things about this country.
I think the bias needs addressing, and I think it should be reduced/made efficient enough to be £99 a year for the next few years. If it did that, it would gain a lot more support.
I'd like to see a full audit of the BBC, and someone from the private sector sort it out.

Cough. Splutter. Not a BBC employee by any chance ?I'd happily have a few adverts on the BBC if it mean not
having to pay the £150 a year telly tax.
Am I correct in thinking that the UK is the only, or one

Not at all! I've seen television in other countries, and it's rubbish. If you want rubbish on TV, go for it, but tell me where do they produce programmes that are sold to our market? The last French TV programme we got over here that I remember was Jacques Cousteau. I suspect that we've sold many dozens to the French, and others, since then. It's a shame that you've got such a cynical view to think that I might work for the BBC. There are many aspects of the BBC that I deeply, deeply despise, the Balen Report being one outstanding example.

Good TV gets shown all over the world. That's the nature of today's media, and the BBC does that better than anyone.
