well it is and you're talking about something completely different - we were discussing the creation of shows like peaky blinders... if you want to talk about editorial control of the BBC then that isn't anything to do with what we've just been discussing, I agree with him there that it should be independent of government and I also oppose selling off channel 4... but you weren't discussing those points!
BBC license fee proposals...

no it is reality - you don't require a TV license to listen to BBC radio - non TV license holders aren't missing out on that
that radio is funded by license money is another point but not relevant to the fact that currently non license payers are able to listen
yes he makes a brief comment about Wolf Hall and on that point it is about as relevant as the downtown abbey creator's comment as I've already illustrated
Yet clearly relevant to your proposal to break off commercial "wings" of the BBC and to the fact that those services are only available due to the way the BBC is currently funded.
I agree but im more than happy to pay my council tax because i use/need them services plus if my house starts to burn id like to think i can ring 999 and it fire service will turn up. Could you imagine if them services went pay as you go and your house went up in flames or you get robbed and they say sorry you didn't pay your subscription lol that would be crap lol

Rylance on if wolf hall would be made by another broadcaster.
But you'll live in a country who's media is predominantly Americanised. I find it amusing that the very quarters that complain about the cultural incursions of immigration are the same that decry the Beeb...
so what?
guy from successful BBC drama says he doesn't think anyone else could make it BBC awesome
guy from successful ITV drama says wouldn't be the same, BBC would meddle
fact is both ITV and the BBC can produce successful dramas, highlighting that people who've gained success under the BBC like the BBC is as futile as highlighting that people who've gained success under ITV like ITV.
stick to quotes/arguments actually presented instead of constructing straw men based on subjective opinions of other posters
if you think someone has a contradictory stance then call it out with quotes so they can clarify or defend it, passive aggressive statements like that are both meaningless and cowardly
What does that actually mean.
I'm not arguing to prevent the continued success of ITV based drama by changing the way it works, you are arguing to prevent the continued success of BBC output by changing the way it works. What part of that don't you understand!
it means use the quote function and refer to actual posts instead of making random passive aggressive statements about other non-specific posters
I'm not arguing 'to prevent the continued success' of the BBC I'm arguing that parts of it could be funded commercially.
you've put forth some argument about Wolf Hall and I've highlighted why it was a bit futile by presenting the fact that someone could make pretty much the same argument about an ITV show
point being both ITV and the BBC can make good dramas
Or what?
or your post is meaningless and has nothing to back the vague accusation being made which you don't have the confidence to direct at anyone in particular
it is just passive aggressive nonsense
I'm suggesting that content is changed by advertising and if you've read any Chomsky you might be persuaded that this is the case.
By introducing advertising to the beeb you will remove the main differentiator to that organisations output.
Heck I like some commercial output, ITV have some cracker's in their back catalogue but as I say I'm not trying to turn ITV into the Beeb, the same can't be said the other way round. Your proposals remove what makes the BBC different.
Accusations of passive aggression when stating a personal amusement in some peoples position, are arguably in themselves passive aggressive.
Don't you dare state your perception...
You are wrong, it's all content not just the BBC, this is why people are unhappy about it.
If it's their own content then it's fine. If they are showing any official broadcasters content live it's not.
I don't watch BBC, so why should I pay, is my point. BBC's quality is subjective, as I stated earlier where is my motorsport.

I'm asking you to back it up and direct it at whomever you were referring to, I'm not saying a personal perception shouldn't be statedWhich posters complaining about the BBC also 'complain about the cultural incursions of immigration' and what is the basis for that claim?
