err what am I paying for?

[Spicerack]

TV licence, if you pay it.

[Jackdaw33]

I think he means the TV licence fee.

I would argue that the cartoon was inappropriate, but the rest seemed like a standard comedy analysis of the news - which television has done since the early sixties.

I'm not sure they are 'disgusting' though.

The licence fee system means we pay for stuff we don't like as well as stuff we do - because other people who pay do like it, and they pay for stuff we like, that they don't.

Gosh, you could have added an advisory note - I've had to take a drop of tincture for the shock.

[shoota]

Already?
The sun is still above the yardarm...
Theoretically.

[ToraToraTora]

Oh, I see, there's a TV program you don't like! I'm happy to pay the licence even though they show programs I don't like.

[Spicerack]

No Andy, we have to pay for it whether we like it or not. Slight but important difference.

You do not have to have a tv licence, you choose to.

[ToraToraTora]

Oddly enough, even though the show is full of VB lefty popinjays I find it quite amusing!

Hc I assume you mean that you do not have to watch TV, correct and I envy those that manage without the box, how different their lives must be.

It is impossible for a licence fee system to work any other way than the way it does now - and as advised, you don't 'have' to pay for it.

If you wish to view BBC programmes, you pay the fee, and that involves a tacit undertaking to contribute to everything, not just the bits you want.

If you feel strongly that this is not what you wish to sign up for, then ask for a refund, and watch cable or internet television.

Its a very good show - it actually had me lol this week!
I think the interview was a truly *** licking exercise so they are telling the truth there!!

[Mamyalynne]

There was a point in the show I almost fell off my chair and it wasn't that one - a word I am going to have to get into conversation somewhere this week.

Not here though;-)

[Spicerack]

///If you wish to view BBC programmes, you pay the fee,///

Another, deliberate?, not quite true statement.

[ToraToraTora]

Andy, you have to pay for simply being able to receive any TV at all not just BBC channels.

[Mamyalynne]

Every day I spot something on TV I don't like for one reason or another, but for less than £3 a week I am never without choice.

Bargain.

[Jackdaw33]

It used to be the case that if you couldn't receive BBC you did not have to have a licence but I'm sure that no longer applies. If you have any device capable of receiving a TV signal you need a licence.

[andy-hughes]

I can only repeat what I have said you can't have just the bits you want - that's not how the system works.

I am sure that if I can cough up for a broadcasting system that employs people like Jo Wiley and John Humphries on a daily basis, you can manage to swallow one comedy show!
