am I right to moan

[Doc_Spock]

Prog on BBC1 now called heir hunters. A firm tracking down possible beneficiaries of larges unwilled estates.

I thought the BBC were impartial funded by licence payers.
Why are they doing free adverts for a private money making company and asking licence payers to foot the bill. If they make a lot of money from commission will the fee be reduced.

This is scandalous

[Doc_Spock]

Viewers are being shown names of the deceased and asking to ring in with any information.

Bear in mind this is solely to make money for a private company.

I shall now stop paying the licence fee.

On yesterdays programme an elderly gentleman died intestate, his estate was worth approx 1 million. As he had no will and they could not find any family the government seized the lot as the law states they are entitled to everything. He was to be buried in a paupers grave until friends clubbed together and paid for a decent funeral and headstone. Now that's what I call scandalous Doc.
