funny you should say that because I have been thinking about this all day as Games of Thrones 6x01 has premiered. People can praise the BBC all they want but given the choice (as in if the law changed and you weren't forced to pay for it anymore) how many people do you think would choose to save themselves £x/month and/or go for Sky/Netflix/Amazon Prime instead?
The BBC was good for what it was back in the 60s, 70s and 80s when there wasn't anything else but as with everything else, times have moved on and there are better services out there which offer you better and more for your money. Millions of people used to flock to the beach (Blackpool etc) in the early 1900s for their summer holidays and watch punch & judy shows and have ice cream but times have moved on and now we like to go abroad. Shall we make it law that everyone has to have their summer holiday in England?
