Channel 4 is publicly owned and works on a commercial model funded by advertising.

Would very much like to see the BBC on same model.

Broadcasting is quite different to utilities and transport.

I have always been against privatised water.

I favour public ownership of trains if we can guarantee not to return to the dark days when I used to suffer having to commute into London Bridge 76-82.

I agree Govt has taken back running of some failed lines.

Never seen a convincing argument that water and rail can provide decent returns for investors and have capital for investment.

Labour had 14 years to take water and rail back into public ownership so don't lecture me on what the Conservatives are doing.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Distinctive programs?

Big Brother...... a real addition to the cultural landscape

Yes, I agree that some is for me, cricket and rugby.

I think I biased by the exasperation that Big Brother ever became popular.
