I'm not saying they should do that (they can by all means, if they're waging wars over the acquisition rights to, say, the Slovakian and Paraguayan versions of Little Britain too). I'm just using this example as a reflection of my belief that large companies (such as Netflix) probably ought to reassess unnecessary expenditures, such as throwing money at celebrities to sell their already-exisiting shows to them, during a global pandemic that is severely crippling their industry financially, especially when the amount they're paying celebrities to acquire the rights to a single show is more than they've donated to the relief fund for British workers in said industry. And if they have the money to pay for Matt Lucas' kitchen renovation, I'm sure they have a little left over to help sort out, say, this country's potentially disastrous ventilator shortage as well. But hey, that's just the anti-capitalist in me speaking!
