It's a bit like Tax cuts everyone wants them but they still want the same NHS, Police and public services. Not sure whether pension credit is the right criteria for free licences, but not sure what else they can easily use, and as mentioned pensioners watch the most TV.
You keep harping on about that as if they were exclusive to BBC. Out of the list only one is a BBC production and not exclusive.

Fleabag produced by: Two Brothers Pictures for BBC, Amazon Prime (Germant, Netherlands, Singapore and USA) and YLE Finland.

Gentleman Jack produced by: Look Out Point Ltd, BBC and HBO.

Years and Years produced by Red Production Company for: BBC, HBO and HBO Spain.

Killing Eve produced by: Sid Gentle Films, Endeavor Content and BBC America for:BBC, BNN-VARA, Bravo Network Canada, Canal+, HBO (spain), RTE, and WOWOW Prime (Japan).
