Watching DOI last night I put it on delay as there has to be half an hour of ads now during the show?

The licence fee honestly does not bother me. I think it's more than worthwhile considering what we get.

Do you feel the BBC are politically bias or even handed?

Netflix is far better value than the BBC, I'm in my parents house atm but when I was a student I didn't have a license but I did watch iPlayer (there's a loophole around it!) but yeah if you don't watch BBC then there's always catch up when you can legally watch programmes from other channels as well not to mention there's Netflix/nowtv/amazon prime so yeah I definitely think living without a tv license is perfectly doable for me anyway.

besides if you just turned a vpn on and watched bbc shows online I don't see how it would even be possible for them to find out (and probably very unlikely if it was)

Off the top of my head I watch the following regularly: QI (BBC2), Fleabag (BBC2), Killing Eve (BBC3, I think?), Drag Race UK (BBC3), Graham Norton Show (BBC1), Match of the Day [2] (BBC1), Strictly when it's on (BBC1), News 24/Breakfast in the mornings (BBC1)

Sometimes if I'm in the mood: Only Connect, University Challenge, Masterchef (and its variants), David Attenborough's stuff, Line of Duty, Sherlock and Would I Lie to You?

And will listen to Radio 1 or 2 occasionally on the way to/from work.

Used to like Pointless but it's so impossible to win now, and The Chase is just better.

Are they bringing back that latest Alan Partridge vehicle? The one that was basically a spoof of The One Show?

I'm sure the channels are getting more like America and it's more than once every quarter of an hour they run ads now. More like every 5 minutes.

I honestly don't know how you can moan about whether it's "value for money" when you don't bother to pay anyway and consume the products illegally.

Kind of renders any point you made moot.

I do enjoy watching TOTP2 on BBC Four . Other than that I only watch MOTD, Graham Norton and stuff like Blue Planet when it’s on.

I regularly watch BBC1 and also regularly find myself on iPlayer binging a series or watching a movie.
