From April next year colour licence will be £126.50 and b&w £42. What will we get for our money I wonder?

i cant believe they can charge you this much just for 2 channels, i think its wrong, i hardly watch bbc1 or bbc2, plus i have noticed that they put little adverts inbetween programmes, but they get away with it as they are not comercial or something like that. I am quite happy to have my bbc channels take off.

It's so executives can have their sumptious lunches, Z list stars can have all there stupid demands pampered to and everyone can get driven around in a chauffeur driven car. Doesn't leave a lot in the kitty which is why the programmes are so c**p and there's so many repeats. Kxx

A little snippet in the paper today. TV execs9all terrestrial channels) surveyed for their best programme.. The Sopranos. Quarter of them hated reality TV shows which like soaps are cheap and the viewers love them. They didn't ask my opinion. Did they ask you?
