Sorry but why should I go back to a medium which absolutely infuriated with terrestial insistence that every person loves soaps. I worked it out at one point 50 hours of soaps was transmitted a week. If they missed the pap it got repeated for several times and had a big sunday catch up. Not forget the saturation of reality pap like get me out here, idol etc. Once in a blue moon there is a decent film/prog but in general terms its pap.
The problem lies is the way the beeb treat the licence as bottomless pit. I would think it not far down the line the average tv monthly bill will be £200. The result many will pushed out from enjoying watching tv. When Tv first came out only the rich could afford such luxuries. Its getting to a point it will once again be a rich mans toy.
Its in the beebs best interest long term to accept licence fee is bordering to point people cannot afford it.
