Public broadcasting has a vital function to play in making sure that in times of crisis there are no conflicts of interest in the news and information that we receive.
Frankly thinking of some of the innotative comedy of the last 60 odd years I very much doubt if the likes of Monty Python,The League of Gentlemen,Black Adder, Red Dwarf or The Kumars would have even been considered by commercial TV. |
Here's a good exercise: Make a list of every classic TV comedy you can think of, and then note which channel made each one. Anyone who fancies a go at this can post their list here so we can argue over whether each show is a true classic or not!
I'm willing to bet that the majority of the comedies on the list were originated by the Beeb.
