When l was a young man, there were only two tv channels going - ITV and BBC, now some 50 years later, l got a job delivering the best wine and champagne to the BBC at White City and Portman Place (the home of the Beeb) ans till they had the best stuff.

To me what has caused major problems for the Beeb, is all the money they are wasting. They wanted US, the licence payer to pay for BBC Digital, and now they are scarpping BBC3. and making it online.

What the BBC have to do is to go back to making great progs, and not the scrap they are doing now.
The Beeb, now is being beaten at everything they are bidding for yet, will spend thousands on parties for staff and simply wasting money on worthless ventures that they cannot win.

We are wasting OUR money on a channel that can quite easily advertise products.

Lets look at it this way - when they 'Advertise' there progs, aren't they advertising. Advertisers would jump at the chance to have BBC advertising.
