Well the pro dancers aren't wrong.
The only one that's genuinely shown poor conduct from what's being said is Graziano, everyone else appears to be being scapegoated. It's disgusting to see tbh.

More Good Staff to be Sacked

The chief executive of BBC News, Deborah Turness, announced the changes in an email on Tuesday, saying the corporation sought to cut 185 roles and open 55 new ones with the aim of saving £24m, amounting to 4% of the current news budget. The BBC’s long-running world affairs news programme HARDtalk and the BBC Asian Network’s bespoke news service will be axed. broadcaster also said it would synchronise the production of news bulletins used on Radio 5 Live and Radio 2 and domestic radio would take summaries from the World Service.] [The plans announced today will also see HARDtalk close by March 2025] [“The BBC talks about diversity, representation and underserved audiences. We tick all of those boxes,” Raj Kaur Bilkhu, a former senior journalist at BBC Asian Network News, said. "I’m angry and upset for the audience." ] [The cuts are part of broader efforts by the broadcaster to cut 500 jobs across the corporation by March 2026. Three former and current employees at BBC Asian Network criticised the removal of its bespoke news service, telling the Guardian the decision was a disservice to the BBC’s audiences. As part of the changes, the network will instead begin airing Newsbeat bulletins which are used on Radio 1 and 1Xtra.] https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...t-affairs-jobs Last edited by arista; 15-10-2024 at 05:45 PM. |

The licence fee should be scrapped definitely for me. I've thought that ever since I was old enough to know one was even needed. I rarely watch the BBC. I prefer Sky news to the BBC. Things I enjoyed before are shocking know. Question Time etc. The BBC Parliament channel is something I watch usually when debates are on or for PMQs. Other than that, the only thing I watch is Wimbledon, football and recently the Olympics. Which I'm sure if the BBC weren't there, other channels would dive in for. So I'd agree to the point to removing forced payment to the BBC by the public for certain. Good to hear from you from outside the UK the views of the BBC too. From its publicity and actions of the last few years at least. It's incredible the licence fee has stayed in place quite frankly. |

Yes indeed, you're right, I could have watched it there.
If I'm honest I have in the past been impressed by the BBC's coverage of sport. Not in recent years however. Even Match of the day now, is taken up with 2 other guests, all analysing what we've just watched on the highlights. When more of the matches could be shown. That really annoys me now. It'll be the same this week when the premier League starts again on Friday. |

![]() ITV is average. C4 is pathetic with how they edit almost every older tv show. And C5 has about one good show a week. Oh a separate note though, if enough people stop paying for the BBC they'll be forced to do something and make radical changes, for the better.

I remember watching the pilot of 15 Days on Channel 5 and along with their butchery of BB, it taught me to never watch a Channel 5 Show ever again.
