Looking at the BBC as a whole, I think the licence fee is relatively cheap...

But that's just me.

Yes, but it's a matter of choice and in this case if you own TV receiving equipment you don't have a choice but to pay up or get nicked.

Its plain old monopolising. They assume because they're the British Broadcasting Company, all television feeds have to go through them.

Even if you just bought a small TV to go with your Playstation or X-Box, you'd pay the fee, because its 'possible to get BBC programming' on the set.

Last time I checked, shops dont charge people for 'being able to buy that porkchop'

Considering all the superb BBC programming I have watched over the years I would gladly pay the fee.

In regards to the £20,000. Its a tiny sum of money, especially where the government is concerned. I think people could find much better examples of excesses to get their panties in a twist over.

Absolutely Amazing

Top Gear
Are you being served?
Blackadder
Dads Army
Extras
Fawlty Towers
Monty Python's Flying Circus
The Office
Red Dwarf

Documentaries too numerous to list.

I was pretty much raised on the BBC, or at least its programming being rebroadcast on the ABC in Australia.

Perhaps if I were a whinging pom I would have a different perspective, while my family is British I never seemed to inherit the proclivity to moan and complain about seemingly trivial things.
