Not sure what BBC is like in Uk but we do get a few good progs from there at times.
Here in Oz our ABC is so low in the polls now it is a wonder it keeps going.
But with an input of just over $1 billion a year from the tax payer and some 42000 staff we expect far better than a left wing extension of all the nations loonies.

Sorry Brian you are wrong the TV licence is currently £159 , I pay mine on direct debit @£13.25 a month. There are moves afoot to increase it by £13, so perhaps that is were you get your £172. There is currently a 2 year freeze on the licence fee and is due to end at the end of 2024.

Maybe Brian has to pay part of the one for 'hey you' lives next door.

Well get you just another racist Tory. I don't suppose your old man was called, Ben - my - Chree and he had a dalliance with a Manx Maid, hence the Douglas Bay. Mind you if I think on Douglas is a Scots name!! suppose it could be worse imagine having a name like Phil McCracken.

Now now don't upset yourself just teasing !!!

Interesting days I wonder if the new Scottish 1st minister will quietly try and introduce prohibition?Detroit_police_prohibition1.jpg. Let's face it did the outgoing 1st minister start the ball rolling.
Nichola increases tax on Booze.
The policy was championed by first minister Nicola Sturgeon when she was health minister, and was passed by the Scottish parliament
