So what's the thing with RATM being #1 in UK with Killing in the name...?

Not really, no, you're just a guy with strong opinions, and when people have strong opinions there's often some aspect that other people don't agree with, so complete agreement is rare  8)

One sees! True enough. Cool.

[Ratrod]

I think it's great it actually worked.

You couldn't pull this off in Holland. Just too many morons.

i'd have thought we'd have had more morons than you... :?

Only because the UK is bigger.

MDV is strikes me as a nice guy, but I agree...in things he gets excited about he is a bit bombastic!

You should see the ridiculous amount of flak the BBC gets from other (private) media enterprises over here.
I am not going to be swayed by these people's special interests and I wouldn't bemoan the cost of the licence fee because as far as I'm concerned the BBC is the only network in the UK that ever has anything much of merit on it.

That said BBC radio has always been shite unless you want to spend ages waiting for panel games or sketch shows on radio3 which are fairly amusing (Radio plays do nothing for me and the only decent music station is digital only so nobody can listen to it apart from at home).

[dave_mc]

bbc is fairly poor too. Don't get me wrong, I think we should still have it, but it's more the best of a bad lot, a lot of the time, as opposed to genuinely "good". and this guff about its being "unbiased" is laughable. It might not be biased in the way that, say, fox is, but it's still biased.

I agree about the special interests, though, can't stand murdoch and co.

[maverickf1jockey]

But I can list several shows on the BBC that I enjoy whereas I can name just one on ITV so that's my justification for praising the BBC.

[Nadz1lla]

The BBC brought us David Attenborough. Whether they are any good now or not is a moot point, because I still owe them a bunch of back-pay from the day they employed him.  :lol:

i think we'd all miss the BBC if it was gone, and it has a hard time with people trying to jump down its throat ever since the Andrew Gilligan 'sexed up dossier' stuff. It has to compete with commercial stations, and also provide a public service in the form of educational content and so. ITV has no such remit. Channel 4 SHOULD in fact show more british programming than it does. Channel 5 is pretty much a non entity.

the BBC has a weird way of doing things, a lot of stuff is out sourced now (both programming and engineering) and it does have a commercial wing, but i think its a lot better than channel 5. I think commercial owned media has it in for the BBC, and to some degree I think the government does also.

Its weird how much people in other countries rely on certain BBC services.

[Philly Q]

ITV has no such remit.

Which is just as well, because if they did they would $%&# it up royally.
