Yes, BBC4 stuff suits BBC2 perfectly which is just showing continual repeats of Coast most of the time. And there is no need for both CBeebies and CBBC.

CBeebies is for younger and CBBC for older kids. There is absolutely a need for both

Top Gear's pretty much worthless now though

It's really not, they own it and distribute it around the world. Should be making them huge sums

Hmmm..... not sure about that

"Welcome to BBC news at 10, our first story is about the downing of a Russian SU-24 over Russia, this story is brought to you by BAE Systems"...... hmmmm........

Because that's exactly how every other news channel works.... :confused:

I watch live TV occasionally, and have never paid a license fee.

Mugs, the people who have been paying for it all these years, lmfao.

I'm sure a majority of ya will be morally outraged by it, but only because of jealousy that you've been paying for it like a mug for years.

Ignore all letters, if they come to the door, shut it on them, job done.

Save that money for XMAS

I think people will be more upset you're calling *teacups* than jealousy.

I'm not sure that that's the point.

Don't even watch the BBC live, I refuse to pay for one to watch any other channel live, they have zero jurisdiction over any other channel. According to their rules though I should have to pay a BBC TV licensing fee to watch ANY live TV, they can swivel.

I will miss BBC 3 when it goes online.

The license fee is a complete joke.

It's OK, FOX channel has all the Family Guy and American Dad episodes.

I for one won't miss BBC Derp.

True but not everyone wants to pay for Sky, Virgin, etc.

How will it work? Will all the programmes just appear like they do on iPlayer? You won't have to tune in at 7.30pm to watch "My Wife Ran Off With The Neighbour" as you do with regularly tele?

Sliver · 30 Jan 2016 at 21:31

Guess I'll just watch Family Guy on the iPlayer then. Giggity.

No you won't :/

For a lot of programmes, the BBC only has a license for live broadcast.

FG is one of those. You can't watch on iPlayer.

Maybe everyone should do this so then there won't be any BBC anymore hey?

No more BBC means everyone pays extra for Sky instead, amirite?

Channel should have been closed down months ago. I hope they don't waste any money on a wake.

d_brennen · 31 Jan 2016 at 17:00

BBC should either be scaled right back and have its funding rolled into normal taxation (so everyone pays regardless) or go subscription IMO. I can't see how the junk they show now is a "public service" or in the interests of the nation

Seriously, what is this obsession people have with Family Guy? It's not even remotely well written and I find Seth McFarlane to be a hack. I enjoy low-brow and irreverent humour (South Park, for example) but FG just seems so juvenile and lacking in subtlety to me... Must be getting old.

I think closing down BBC3 is the right decision. I would do the same to BBC4 and move some of its better quality content back to the original two stations. Furthermore, I would abolish the likes of EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing (although, as pointed out earlier, it could be that they are somewhat less expensive in the long run when compared to factual content). I would then fund it all from general taxation. People have rightly pointed out that the very notion of a 'TV-license' is anachronistic.

isnt family guy moving to itv once BBC Three goes online?

Lol! Imagine the countries reaction to abolishing Eastenders. Most of the UK watches it.
