BIG

GUY

It hasn't suffered as badly as many other educational channels in terms of 'reality tv' bullshit.

CHUCK

It's a giant British conglomerate that takes money from British people by law.

Some of its stuff is good, some (most) of its stuff is shit.

I don't understand why people praise its TV reporting so much, it's on the same level as CNN

Terrible at everything except nature docs.

>open up iplayer
>OIOI BETTER PAY THAT TELLY FINE LAD
Fuck

at least it's not ITV.

>praise its TV reporting
Investigative journalism and not just helicopter shots of 'breaking news'. Also, while not TV reporting, the World Service is excellent.

>Doctor Who
It's shit.

>The current state of the British
this worlds fuck lmao

It takes a very sanctimonious position on American culture. It is overly politicized with the "refugee" crisis. Other than that, it's a decent enough news outlet for international stories.

Overrated. Chicks prefer BWC according statistics.

They're retards for making the BBC IPlayer UK-only

>by law
It's not enforceable. Unlike other countries where it's part of tax.

>sanctimonious position on American ''''''culture''''''
Just a Brit thing, mate. Don't take it to heart.

kek

I stopped paying my license about 10 years ago.
BBC News was the only thing I paid it for but I no longer class it as a news organisation.
Amazing how many people are brainwashed into being scared to not pay their license fee and still own a TV (I have three and the biggest can be seen from the street).

They get all uppity about our guns, our communities, our infrastructure and all that. Acting as if we're somehow beneath them.

I believe the truth is the British are envious of American freedom. Our open landscapes, wilderness, spacious homes, sprawling cities, and international independence.

Pretty based in some aspects but not so much in others.

They should retire the licence fee though. It was fine in the past but it was designed for a pre-internet era.

Can you even still pay the reduced fee for a black and white TV?

...

EVERY. FUCKING. EUROPEAN. COUNTRY. HAS. TV LICENSES. EVEN THE USA HAS TO PAY FOR 'PUBLIC TELEVISION' WITH TAXES.

Garbage

No, we act like that because we really do think you moronic corn-stuffed corporate slaves are beneath us.

Sorry, no offence intended.

That doesn't mean anything, their "enforcement" branch is literally nothing, they will just keep sending you letters telling you to talk to them and then finally send you a letter saying they're showing up at x date, and if you arent there on that date they will show up on another date and so on and so on

My friend recently bought a TV and they send him about 7 letters that he threw in the trash and one finally said theyre going to show up at his house on october 27th at 2pm, of course he was working so theres literally nothing they can do, unless of course youre stupid enough to invite them in and show them youre using the tv to watch television

PBS isn't owned by the government

they should bring back bbc3 but make it a family guy 24/7 stream

Literally a modern day Ministry of Truth.

Nah, you know that you want to own a ranch in Wyoming. That you'd like to get yourself a sweet mid-western girl and settle down.

You can stop lying to yourself.

My licence specifies 'colour' so I assume so.

No we don't you fucking mong, it's just bants. But we think you're (((commercial))) brainwashed idiots who got sold down the fucking river via, well, everything, by Jewish overlords wanting more shekels. Even your media mocks this.

>The first draft of the Constitution with the word 'suckers' in it

So on, so forth.

It's funded by the government and you'd remember this when Trump said he was cutting funding and you all had a nice REEEEE over it.

what did they say when you emailed them complaining about historical inaccuracies in a 3rd party produced cartoon, mate? You DID email them to complain, right? You didn't just moan on Sup Forums and Reddit, right? R-right???

Bullshit revisionist network.

Am I really supposed to believe Romans had British accents and said "OI YOU TOSSERS! WHAT IN BLOOMIN' 'ELL YOU LOT BE WASTIN' YOUR TIME WITH THAT? PAY HIM A BAG OF SAND AND A MONKEY AND TELL HIM TO SOD OFF!"

It's partially funded by the government, but it's largely funded by sponsors and viewers like you.

I mean, you'd know that if you ever watched it.

The amount we pay to PBS/NPR is insignificant compared to what you pay. And we still want to get rid of it unlike you brainwashed cucks.

Pushes a liberal agenda at every opportunity these days, whilst claiming to be "balanced".

Hey you yanks

All things to be proud of, but I don't think the average Brit is too envious of that. It's almost all irreverent banter and not meant to be insulting or superior. Equally some things are not above criticism, the state of your healthcare system for one. That doesn't change the fact that I'd rather sit next to an American on a plane than any European.

And if you don't pay your TV licenses to support that shit (whether you watch it or not), they're gonna send the goons to fuck with you.

My man, you can calm down. I'd buy you a pint and let you shoot some of my guns. You Britishers need to understand the neighborly friendship that is so much more common in these 50 United States. You're all so bitter. I don't know if it's the tea or the weather that does it to you.

NO BBC=ANGER

>tfw my country is changing the fee to a tax
I wouldn't mind it too much since for us smaller countries where there is no real TV industry it's godsend to have something to watch that isn't American or reality TV, and the tax is cheaper than the fee. Fuck I'll happily pay 100 bucks a year just to watch Antiques Roadshow. But I don't want to fucking pay 100 bucks a month for incredibly biased socialist propaganda.

>hello yes my name is nigel let me tell you about your country
is this what obsession looks like?

>taxed out the ass for the royal family
t. poorfag can't afford 62p per year.

I have access to world class healthcare and pay a $200/month premium and will never pay more than $1k a year in actual medical costs. Our healthcare system isn't as broken as media folks will jave you believe. I do think that the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the US being unplanned medical expenses is a travesty, however.

I'm glad it exists for based Attenborough alone

Careful Londonfag careful.

Their report on the Japanese doujin industry was unintentionally hilarious.

The TV License should be outlawed. It's clearly not going towards anything of value.

>you can choose a black & white subscription
>in 0+2017

I'm surprised it's not mandatory like a lot of places in Europe already.

The only british journalist worth listening to is Paul Joseph Watson. Fuck your brainwashed fake news.

HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO WATCH ADAM CURTIS DOCS LEGALLY IF I'M NOT A FUCKING BRITBONG
