Of course I do, and I, for one, will be happy to pay for them into the future. But I will defend to the hilt the idea that those not benefiting from BBC services should not have to pay for them.

'Call the Midwife's' is on Xmas and you'll love that, worth the licence fee by itself !

Seriously I don't get it that people moan about £150 a year to the Beeb for quality content, when they pay around £1000 a year to Sky/VM for hundreds of channels of crap.
I hate 'Call the Midwife, man!

But I don't hate the BBC, even though I think it wastes too much money. I enjoy many of their programmes and I am personally not resenting paying for it. But that is my choice.

You have to face facts. Sky may cost a lot more, but if that's what you want to watch, that should be your choice.

It is a democracy, is it not?
