(I am assuming, before you edit it, that you meant "the NHS" there?!)

I'm not saying anything. But that you think the BBC only "peddles entertainment" says more about your problem (one might say "bias") with the BBC than it does about the BBC itself.

Actually, no. Not at all. They are - whether you agree or not - currently both public services and that is the only level on which I am comparing them.

Besides, who says that public services have to only and exclusively be absolutely essential? Are local, council-run public swimming pools essential? Debatable, but most councils seem to have one.
