The BBC is pretty awesome.
They've done a lot more than just produce good TV and radio content too.

12Yesterday they postponed the news (due on as soon as the England v Portugal game had finished) so that Doctor Who could be shown in its previously scheduled timeslot.
That alone is reason for a NC.
WF 5 for too much East Enders though

13How come the BBC, as a state-operated news source, is more independent, questioning, and informative that our independent media sources?
I don't know, but it's pretty cool, and proves that Hayek was full of shit.
Not Crap.

14Because your independent media sources are bought and paid for by megaconglomerates who are looking out for their own interests?

Not interested, sorry. Stick your calm, gentle, queen's english, your gardening programmes, your Alan Titchmarsh, your Bruce Dickinson's rock show, your licence fee I'm supposed to pay just to own a tv(?), your pushchair to pension institutions like that bit of music they play late at night on radio 4 to make you feel all cozy and at home, your voice of authority, your national anthem, your shitty regional programming, your Good Life sit coms, your the whole world is seen from a west London viewpoint, stick it all up your fucking arse Mr BBC man.
Let's not forget just why a state might want to broadcast.

20New Labour / Birt speak = CRAP.
The most amazing thing is how the BBC has achieved and carried out its brilliance with totally lame top level management.
So much of my favourite comedy, music, television programmes, and so on have come from the BBC. Despite its problems, the BBC will always have an overwhelming amount of interesting things for people to digest.
Black Adder, Planet Earth, John Peel, BBC news, Eastenders, Delia Derbyshire, and thousands of other great things have developed or come about or been helped by the BBC
I disagree with the UK television license being put up all the time. It's expensive, and a lot of old people are struggling to pay it. The BBC pays big money for the rights to show hollywood films and make boring drama series, I would rather see them make the TV license much cheaper for old people by saving money from not paying big money for hollywood films or something like that.
BBC = not crap.
