BBC TV Licesnse Fee. I'm convinced :)

I've been through the arguments for and against the license fee quite a few times during my 3 years at uni (part of my degree is media based). But I've just finished watching the Planet Earth series in HD, and well, it really serves as a reminder to me at least that the BBC really does produce some brilliantly high quality media (visually and intellectually). I don't begrudge paying £130 a year for my daily fix of Neighbours and whatnot .

If Planet Earth is out there what else am I missing out on?. I only happened by Plant Earth by chance.

Any of the natural history programmes will be worth watching, Planet Earth is probably the most spectacular but The Blue Planet isn't far behind. There are some which are a little watered down, Space for example, but as a result they're very accessible to the layman.

Some of the newer semi dramatised history series are pretty good too, the Auschwitz & Nuremberg ones put a slightly different twist on the subject matter by telling the story through live action rather than narration.

Excellent, thank you kindly for the recommendations. I'll seek out Blue Planet next .

Its a shame they show such crap as Neighbours

Ahh cmon, who can resist the Aussy charm?.
