Or maybe this proves that BBC programmes are not as highly regarded by the public out there as the BBC and its protagonists like to think they are.
The Netflix originals in particular are setting a new quality standard. The Crown and House of Cards are just two examples of the standards that the BBC need to match or beat to justify their compulsory subscription fee.
