Why do I say "partially"? To me, this is the real debating ground. Should catering for various minorities or cultures by adding new channels be a decision that comes at the BBC's whim when it implies an increase in licence fee? SHould the BBC cater for minorities within the BBC1 / BBC2 constraints?

I alighted on the Bake-Off whatever it is called this morning.

No wonder the BCC need more than £159 for their licence fee; they gratuitously decided that the programme needed 4 hosts, including Mary Berry and that ridiculous Sue Perkins. Jeez, what money wasters.
