About the BBC

Here's something from the Guardian Media section about the creative processes at the BBC which lengthy, well-written, a little over the top, but useful and ultimately true.

As an outsider I found it helpful to understand how things work with making a tv programme. And the chap has clearly been around so is speaking from an informed position.

But from the outsider persepective it does slightly have the 'they're stifling my creativity' tone. I have the same problem on the football pitch all the other players stifle my creativity!

But the article/letter left me thinking do we need national public sector broadcasting?

I am not especially anti licence fee but beginning to wonder whether I need tv. I am not anti BBC the web site is my homepage, I woke up to the today programme, the BBC will keep my up to date with the cricket. I can watch good programmes via the internet. The car stereo is tuned into Radio 2, (I found this one hard to explain it just happened one day about 3 years ago).

For none of which do I need to pay a licence fee, hmmmm.
