Two days in a row licence inspector (postmen on overtime in Ireland). I didn't answer but did answer accidentally a while back and pretended to be Ukrainian. Me knew nothing, no good English, just visiting lovely place.

It is madness that we have to pay this fee.
There should be a choice like Netflix.
If i was asked to pay £15/month i can decide what to do.
So many non-jobs on the BBC gravy train and where programmes can be produced for tiny audiences because the decision makers want to on our pay is ridiculous.
It would not survive in the real world and unless the Tories deal with it then you know that Labour won't because they are the left wing liberal mouthpiece.
They report what they want on the news and not what the news really is.
If it doesn't suit their ideals then they say as little as possible.
If you click on the Scotland tab you can start to find out about Wee Krankie's wild spending while in power but not anywhere else.
If Boris or any Tory had spent £14m on the company credit card you can rest assured that it would be front and centre of the homepage not for Nicola Sturgeon - she must be treated.
Oh - and where has Huw Edwards gone - hmm - BBC employee - we know the answer.
I do accept by the way that he may have some serious mental health issues but he wouldn't get a free pass if he didn't work for them, that's for sure!

Oh Badger you can't really compare.

This is an interview with a bloke who is not only highly intelligent but can clearly and entertainingly communicate his erudite thoughts more or less how he likes.

Now, before I go to today's guests, I will say this. I am still in work and sometimes post on LinkedIn. I have been warned: no s-e-x, religion, politics, or race.

Thus, with the usual Twitter melt downs when someone says something even the tiniest off woke (or on woke), imagine the guidelines imposed on today's guests. Celebs are trained to answer in ways that offend no-one. Consequence: a seriously dull interview. Witty interviewers have to fill the gap. People didn't watch Jonathan Ross for the guests, they watched him take the mick out of his guests.

Well if that is the case then why bother with chat shows. I must admit I haven't watched any of them since Parky retired.

You maybe correct about media training of celebs but the rise of the "celebrity interviewer" had already started back in Parkinson's days.

One more point

If I lived in Derry I could refuse to pay for the TV license on the grounds that the BBC insist on calling it LONDONDERRY.
