The Saville thing screwed them I think tbh. A few people I know (mostly older people aswell who have paid it for years) are now refusing to pay because 'the BBC uses their money to cover up pedophilia' and such
Probably worried about loads and loads of people ending up with criminal records now.
Also, IMO the BBC are ****ing rubbish anyway. I actually cant think of one thing I watch on there yet am still expected to pay for it to have no ads
Just put ****ing adverts on..god, from what I remember they have loads of ads on anyway, just advertising other shows on their channel rather than stuff to buy.
