Yes. The BBC. 
Tonight I am sitting up to listen to the first session of the 3rd Ashes test, in the company of Agnew, Vaughan and Martin-Jenkins. Wherever I go, I can listen to live coverage of a test match happening thousands of miles away via digital radio, on my phone, on the television and on long wave.
On Saturday night I expect to watch Strictly Come Dancing, along with 11 million others. Last week I watched a documentary on iplayer and did some research on the BBC website. Every morning I listen to the Farming Today podcast and read the news and sport from around the world. Several times per day, I watch the BBC weather forecast.
All this for £150 per year. Is it only Mr. Maxwell who does not think that this is value for money?
Sometimes I worry about people. No one in particular you understand, but it’s more a societal thing. Yesterday I was driving around the farm listening to the Today programme when this happened:
If you did not laugh just a little, please stop reading. Yes, I know that this was on the BBC, and it was on a flagship programme, and it was before the watershed. If you cannot see the funny side of Dr. Spooner turning up before the pips then you don’t deserve the analogue signal, let alone 50MB broadband.
