BBC could fall apart

Other channels have equally good programs, but that isn't an argument that the licence fee should be abolished.

ITV have been producing TV programmes for nearly 50 years and they've all been crap. QED.

Happy to be of service.

Didn't take long for the Stenchorista to get back to his old ways, did it?

"ITV have been producing TV programmes for nearly 50 years and they've all been crap. QED."

Being somewhat South of the Bristol to King's Lynn Gap, I'll safely assume you haven't heard of Coronation Street.

Your point being?

That ITV produce quality programs. Oh ****, I just realised, Laz is a snob, and hence unworthy of such drivel as CS - we need more unwatchable and tedious history programs for his crass history "series".

According to upmystreet.com, ITV viewing is a matter of class (or lack of it), which may be why some find it objectionable ..

As for the BBC, well, I find it dumbed down at times, BBC World (much loved in India) can be a little repetative (they love re-showing hard talk all the time), but Radio 4 is brilliant, especially its science coverage.

I can't imagine the BBC will break up, I think a few people have suggested some of the structural changes, but it certainly will not be broken up.

For me, the BBC needs to aim at a viewer with a bit more intellegence than it does, especially on reporting on Science and Technology, which I find dismal at best on its TV channels.

As for being bias .. well, some of its reporters certainly are, but surely we are all intellegent enough to spot it, and discount it .. arn't we ??

As for the similarities between Sky and Fox, its interesting, because Star is India's murdoch ran enterprise, and its so over the top nationalistic, like fox, but I think sky isn't so jingoistic as either Fox or Star .

BBC is a joke. Sky is on the way up.

Probably because Glonkie asked for them.

Does anyone have the link to the thread where Fez took the article from the Onion seriously?

He asked me to. I did have the ICQ transcripts on my old 40GB hard-drive (which is now kaput). And I don't do stupid things like that anymore.

Agathon: Don't be a moron.

Anyways, I got my name changed back. That fiasco is over.

You could have been more creative. "The Pink Jackboot" sounds good.

Nope. I don't listen to people like you.

More's the pity...
