I dont have a tv license, so I can't watch sky news. I can see that its unfair to watch bbc without a license, but what is the rational of making it illegal to watch sky or itv news live. bad law criminalises normal behaviour.

So we fully pay for something with our Tax/license fee and then once it's complete we can then buy it!
I really hate the BBC I don't like having to fund a system that is full of Private School Kids!
Yes I've done a lot of work with the BBC and it is sickening how self cultured it's staff are.

You do not need a tv license if you buy something from BBC Store and watch it. I asked the BBC last year and that is what they replied.

May be a silly question but how do you watch stuff purchased from the BBC store? Is it only on device that have the BBC store app or does it attach to an iplayer login and then watchable on anything that lets you use the iplayer?!

Great stuff, picked up a few of the Only Fools & Horses specials as most aren't in the box set I have. Not having watched them in years, I shoved the box set in my bag for something to watch if the weather wasn't very good on a holiday to Whitby last year. My three girls aged 8, 9 and 12 had never seen it. It pi**ed it down most of the week so we watched all 7 seasons and they loved it.
They thought something was wrong with me in the run up to chandelier scene in A Touch of Glass as I was crying in anticipation of what was going to happen :laughing: I've not seen them all fall about laughing as much as they did afterwards...so funny. Timeless comedy.

I've worked at the BBC as well, as an outside contractor. There is a definite BBC type. Very middle class, very group-think, full of luvvies, as you would expect for a media organisation.

9 Mar 171#41
That's for 1 episode,I think the whole series is £4.99,so apply the code and it's 99p. There's lots of series for £1.99 after the code,and some 'miniseries' for free,eg. Ambassadors,Sunshine(HD) as well as the Play for Todays as kirky666 said, eg Blackstuff,Abigail's party,which are movie length.
Deal ends on the 13th.

What hope does this country have when people can't even do their own research. Yet insist on using current events to attempt to substantiate their own feelings. Couple that with questioning someone's honour and credibility it's a sad day for humanity.
Newbold
14 Mar 17#48
There's nothing to research. "Don't forget the twisting / falling to report news accurately (or at all) for their own gain." is your statement about the BBC and you've failed to substantiate it in any way - unsurprising, because it's pure fantasy.
You're welcome to your thoughts - but it's a little unfair to attack the BBC (which has a statutory duty to be unbiased) from a biased standpoint which has no evidence to substantiate it. :neutral_face:

In Their Own Words
When people ask for evidence of an institutional Left-wing bias at the BBC, this is the place to go for evidence. Out of the mouths of Beeboids….
The BBC is “a publicly-funded urban organisation with an abnormally large proportion of younger people, of people in ethnic minorities and almost certainly of gay people, compared with the population at large”.
All this, he said, “creates an innate liberal bias inside the BBC”.
–Andrew Marr
“It’s a bit like walking into a Sunday meeting of the Flat Earth Society. As they discuss great issues of the day, they discuss them from the point of view that the earth is flat.
“If someone says, ‘No, no, no, the earth is round!’, they think this person is an extremist. That’s what it’s like for someone with my right-of-centre views working inside the BBC.”
– Jeff Randall, former BBC business editor
By far the most popular and widely read newspapers at the BBC are The Guardian and The Independent. Producers refer to them routinely for the line to take on running stories, and for inspiration on which items to cover. In the later stages of my career, I lost count of the number of times I asked a producer for a brief on a story, only to be handed a copy of The Guardian and told ‘it’s all in there’.
– Peter Sissons, Former BBC News and Current Affairs presenter
“In the BBC I joined 30 years ago [as a production trainee, in 1979], there was, in much of current affairs, in terms of people’s personal politics, which were quite vocal, a massive bias to the left. The organisation did struggle then with impartiality. And journalistically, staff were quite mystified by the early years of Thatcher.
“Now it is a completely different generation. There is much less overt tribalism among the young journalists who work for the BBC. It is like the New Statesman, which used to be various shades of soft and hard left and is now more technocratic. We’re like that, too.”
– Mark Thomspon, former BBC Director General
“I do remember… the corridors of Broadcasting House were strewn with empty champagne bottles. I’ll always remember that”
– Jane Garvey, Radio 4 presenter, recalling Tony Blair’s election victory in 1997
I absorbed and expressed all the accepted BBC attitudes: hostility to, or at least suspicion of, America, monarchy, government, capitalism, empire, banking and the defence establishment, and in favour of the Health Service, state welfare, the social sciences, the environment and state education. But perhaps our most powerful antagonism was directed at advertising. This is not surprising; commercial television was the biggest threat the BBC had ever had to face.
– Sir Antony Jay, former BBC producer and creator, inter alia, of “Yes, (Prime) Minister”
“Liberal sceptical humanists tend to dominate television”.
The “default position in broadcasting” – when covering issues such as gay marriage and the Roman Catholic position on IVF – revolved around human rights, and that opponents should not be treated as “lunatics”.
“All I’m saying is, if you have at the centre of News an editor, he could explain why people in particular areas…are motivated, why they behave as they do and I think that would just increase understanding.”
– Roger Bolton, Radio 4 presenter and former head of Panorama and Nationwide
“And, in the tone of what we say about America, we have a tendency to scorn and deride. We don’t give America any kind of moral weight in our broadcasts.”
– Justin Webb (pg. 66), Today presenter and former BBC North America editor
“We need to foster peculiarity, idiosyncrasy, stubborn-mindedness, left-of-centre thinking.”
– Ben Stephenson, BBC controller of drama commissioning
