Yes, Eastenders drags the intelligence level straight back down but Only Connect, Mastermind and University Challenge soon sort that out :-). The comedy content alone (forget the excellent dramatizations for a minute) from Radio 4 must get a mention too, such great programmes over the years. Just A Minute and I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue will always be timeless and deserve to be heard for many, many years to come.
A world without the BBC TV and Radio would be a considerably dumber, less comical place.
I would gladly pay more of a fee just to stop BBC Three from broadcasting :-).

Bob on, my sentiments as well
