Get rid of the Boring Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), this would save all of us a fortune a year by not having to pay TV licensing fees.
Or at least give people the chance to choose whether or not they want these channels from the BBC. |

Ummmm, 'Weakest Link'; 'Lottery show'; 'Dale Winton Celebrity Wall Show' & 'Celebrity Scissorhands'; 'Fame Academy'...BBC is merely ITV without the PAID for adverts. They have incredibly long advert breaks of their own between (and over the end of) every show. Buy their magazines; dvds; blah blah blah...I see more of the Radio Times on BBC television that if I purchased a copy and slept with it! |

Thats rubbish, the bbc is still the best broadcasting company in Britain, if not the world. How many commercial channels driven by money would be able to give breaks to people like 'The mighty boosh', the office etc. It has the best documenaries and dramas. If it were to become commercial it would just be another channel full of mind numbing game shows and reality shows. |

Yes - give Pauline a show. Still dont like the idea of Prescott taking taxpayer money still.
When people earn their money - by having talent and working hard I have no problem with it. When they get given money and they abuse their position ( as Prescott did - remember the grace and favour homes - the romps - the croquet ) then even if they have a nice personality it is wrong. |

I can't say I like Prescott, but I do respect the way he was genuine and proud to be a left wing bigot, unlike Blair who hid behind image. You always knew where you stood with Prescoot, and he called a spade a spade.
I didn't watch the TV show. I'm quite happy for him to fade into oblivion. |
