it's to do with restoring episodes of only fools and horses & open all hours so they can be shown at prime time cos no-ones ever seen them before...

Hands up for a commercially funded BBC 
It would help them shed some waste. After having a tour of their IT dept some years ago I realised the answer to lack of technology was to throw tens of people at the job

£121 for all the TV channels, all the radio shows, the BBC symphony orchestra, the concerts on the radio. All of them with NO adverts. Think of all the documentaries etc that they do, which really wouldn't be commercially viable, but they put them on as a service.
How much is Sky, and how many adverts do you have to endure? I think it's almost unwatchable. And it's mainly total drivel.

but at least with sky, if u dont want it, u dont have to pay for it.. its your choice. with bbc, i have to pay the license fee despite never watching their channel. thats the only thing i object to.

About no adverts on BBC, have you not noticed the 6 mins of BBC adverts in between each program?
There can be no justification of FORCING people to pay a fee to the BBC WHETHER OR NOT they choose to watch it? Just bring out a decoder box that costs £121 per year & let people CHOOSE whether they want to watch the BBC or not.
