One thing I am absolutely confident of, is, the BBC will not have a say in it at all! The government will decide assuming there is a BBC in the future at all. My local MP is one among many who wants rid of the BBC completely.

Agree in part, but as said by someone else there will be higher priced non ad tiers too.

I do add to that content via streaming services, but to say the FTA channels don't show good drama is way off in my view.

For me, as someone who was always a major advocate of our broadcasters, they are dead to me as far as I am concerned.
They exist to service the lowest common denominator only and what "quality" dramas they do come up with are boring and are poorly acted and executed.
