Not sure about BBC itself but they've sure put on some great shows throughout the years.0

They're a corporation so they're obviously evil, and I'm pretty sure that this thread is a scam to get people to view their channel. Are you a spy?
Just wanted opinions of the BBC
I see what you did there....0 -
Used to watch it a lot. Favourite shows were: Are you being served?, Keeping up appearances, and Fawlty towers.0

God, no.
They are bloated, biased, unaccountable behomoth that have allowed paedophiles to roam freely in its corridors for years. They have over one hundred staff in South Africa right now covering the Mandela tributes. They support a symphony orchestra. They sit on billions and billions of real estate, paid for by muggins. Their output is mediocre across the board, at best.
It is paid for by threat of imprisonment, and the collection arm lie, cheat, deceive and terrify vulnerable people.
They should be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century, broken up, sold off to the highest bidder and be forced to compete in the commercial world.
If Top Gear and Gordon Ramsey are really popular (and I don't doubt they are), they will thrive in a competitive environment.0 -
I am a huge BBC fan.
I watch Dr. Who, Orphan Black, Sherlock, Ripper Street, Broadchurch, Copper and I am trying to get into Atlantis.
I know, I'm a geek. But it's who I am.

Ha! Those are my favorite too. I can watch the scene in Are you being served? where the do they Coco club commerical and cant remember her name puts on the fake eyelashes gets them stuck together, the stool get's stuck to her butt, and they dance to the farting accordion over and over again. Just thinking about it makes me laugh out loud.
Oh, LOL and the mic slips down her cleavage so Mr. Peacock has to talk down in her cleavage, and then it slips further and they suggest he talk up her skirt. Hahahahahah oh I can just think about that and it cracks me up.0 -

I lisen to the BBC World News over here in America, and I quite like it. Mainly because they are much more objective than our wonderful American media. But also because I love the accent, they could read me a phone book and I would listen.0

yeah lol.... I didn't have a TV for a couple of years, I was constantly hounded by letters telling me I didn't have a TV license. One they asked me to fill in a form with one question "I don't have a TV license because ____________________" and on the line I wrote "I do not have a TV set" but still the letters kept on coming. I almost wished they'd send their stupid TV detector van around so they could search my house, not find any trace of a TV set and stop sending me the bloody letters!!!!!0 -

I used to be..until they cancelled Ripper Street..now I'm just annoyed If they had actually advertised the fact they had moved it from Sunday night to Monday then people (like me) would have watched it from the beginning and not half way through after I stumbled upon it by chance. NOT HAPPY.
But on the whole the Beeb is a great public service. If you live in Ireland you will agree that RTE have nothing on them for the quality of broadcasting, particuarly in drama. (RTE news services are good)0 -

what is a TV license?
the BBC is funded through the TV license, it's kind of like a tax on TVs. If you own a TV you have to buy a license. If you don't have one and they catch you watching the BBC channels you'll get in big trouble and can even go to jail (similar to not paying road tax etc). That's how the BBC is funded, and there are no commercials on the BBC, which is good. And I'm happy to pay for a license if I have a TV and watch the BBC...... but it's the assumption of the people who check up on TV licenses that absolutely no-one does not own a TV and therefore anyone who doesn't have a TV license is a criminal, that really did my head in.0 -
