IMO the BBC fails its PSB remit as it just goes for ratings these days and pushes out rubbish designed to appeal to the lowest denominator. Real quality programming is rare and so many other commercial channels do it better.

I'm not saying the BBC is like a school. I'm demonstrating that just because a public service provider also does commercial operations on the side, it does not reclassify the whole operation as "commercial".
