    For repeated crap and costume drama, remakes of old comedy shows.... NOT value for money. And how are they going to police every tablet, phone or computer?

    I agree steve. Best solution is in my opinion.
    1: No licence fee.
    2: Take the bbc from free view.
    3: If you want it pay for it.

    The BBC has lost its way IMO. Very sad.

    No no, I watch BBC mainly because no adverts, I do watch other channels of coarse but if only they would put ads in between programs instead of during, also I don't like anything obscuring the screen like name of channel ect

    ... such as the Channel Number in the top LH corner you mean?

    Advert breaks are there to go make a cuppa or for a pee break.

    When I'm watching anything I don't like interruptions of any kind, like to watch from beginning to end!

    That's fine, but how many programs do they make that last more than 45 minutes to an hour? How many new movies do they show that you would want to sit uninterrupted ?

    i hardly watch the bbc anymore, too many other choices showing better programs, plus I can get a drink or pee without missing anything. The BBC is an outdated organization that fails on so many levels.

    My pet hate is all this 'and coming up next'... every 10 minutes. Previews here there and everywhere.

    I don't want to bloody know what's coming up next ! Ruining every damned programme, just because one or two idiots have the attention span of a goldfish !
