I can't wait - no more David Attenborough Nature programmes, no more
quality comedy or dramas, no more music, no more scientific or
historical programmes and as much Big Brother, XFactor and TOWIE as you
want. Plus even more people can have their balanced view of the world
formed by the Express and the Mail so we can become even more barbaric
and uncultured and stupid as a nation. And there was me thinking you

Independent TV does plenty of quality dramas, such as:

Agatha Christie's Poirot

Foyle's War

Endeavour

Morse

Downton Abbey

Mr Selfridge

Doc Martin

Law & Order: UK

The Bletchley Circle


As for BBC bias, the Queens’ Jubilee program was a disgrace. Nobody knew
anything, nobody cared. The main presenter couldn’t even work out what
to call the Queen. The Dunkirk Little Ships, the most evocative
reminders of this country’s bravest hour, were ignored so that a
pneumatic birdbrain from Strictly Come Dancing could talk to
transvestites in Battersea Park.

The BBC staff have the Guardian newspaper as their “bible” and political
correctness "their creed”.

By 2026, the next time the BBC charter is up for discussion. Streaming
TV on the internet will have become the main way to watch TV. People
will be able to watch what they want, when they want. The public will
very much resent paying a licence fee.

I do that anyway. I've got one of those new-fangled devices called a DVD recorder. You can fast-forward through all the rubbish. I rarely watch prgrammes live.

This must be the most idiotic thread I have read in USW. Not only is it totally off-topic but is based on a false premise. I notice that Lawrie, having tossed some red meat into the lion's den, has now scarpered. Not clever, Lawrie, not clever. This is a weather group, in case you'd forgotten.
