Whats a TV?

It's a thing that most people are glue to during their off duty time, a lot of the stuff produced by the TV is drivel, Soap Operas and the like, in the main, although other pointless viewing is also on offer, Dancing programs.
Sometimes referred to as the IDIOT BOX.

A TV is a tool, and the only idiot is the one that operates it, personally I believe the BBC should carry on as it is as ads are a menace, I don't like the fee but there are certain shows on the BBC that run rings around anything else that is produced around the world. Watch TV in the US and you will cry adbe grateful for what we have.

Makes me laugh when people complain about the BBC, saying it's all repeats. And Sky isn't? Come on, the BBC still produce the best programmes, alot of which make up the SKY channels. When you compare them to some of the dross on other channels, ITV included the licence is good value.

Aren't they thinking of doing away with the free TV licenses for the over 75's?

I ain't over 75 YET mate
