How the hell is Chris Evans worth at least 2.2 million a year. Graham Norton 900k. Ridiculous waste of money.
Regardless of what you personally think of both they pull in very high listening/viewing figures. Surely that's the point?
Sums up the British viewing/listening public then. Norton isn't even funny.
Or have you considered that you just don't do humour?
Hugely entertaining presenter with a vast skill set (including humour) that makes his chat show streets ahead of anything else that's currently on tv (subjective of course).
Of course i have humour, but i wonder what the country sees in him, i assume you are talking about norton now. Same feeling i used to get when i looked at uk pop charts and compared it with the usa chart.
The bit that I think is the worst is where you have presenters doing exactly the same and having huge wage differences. Like how on earth is John Humphreys worth multiples of what his colleagues get for doing the same job. Especially as his idea of an interview is to stop conversation so he can show how clever he is. Or not.

Because he is the one interviewer who scares the politicians, as he always asks the awkward questions. I read recently that the Today editor on seeing how relieved a major politician was on hearing Humphries wasnt scheduled to interview him, immidiately switched the plans so that Humphries WAS interviewing him.
The only thing that used to be worth watching was the National Anthem and they even done away with that now, so I just used to leave it on in the back room with the sound off, safe in the knowledge that I was stealing from the BBC every minute of the day.
Not really bothered what BBC employees earn. What gives me the hump is having to pay for a service that I don't use. Should either show adverts or make it a subscription channel. Would be interesting to see how many people would sign up.
The commercial companies do not want the BBC to take adverts because the BBC would corner the market.
You pay for ITV, Sky, etc. whether you use them or not by buying anything that's advertised on those channels. The point about paying for the BBC out of public funds is that it does a job for the public good, and it promotes Britain's position in the world. There are lots of places where the local media is in the hands of the state and the people listen to the BBC for real, unbiased, news.

I bet you're the sort of person who used to record programmes you didn't like on your video recorder, then play them back when yu weren't in.

Do they play their anthem on the French TV? You could listen to that.

French are allowed to be proud of their heritage and National anthem mate

I was just asking. I like the Marseillease (sp), great piece of music with brilliant words. Be happy if the Beeb played that ;-)
By the way Radio 4 signs off every night with God save the Queen.
Whether you want the national anthym played or not, I'm not sure how relevant it is to the thread. It used to be played at the end of programming, but it just carries on now!

Does it? I thought it signed of with a far superior piece of music: Sailing By.

Love Sailing By. Isn't it played before the shipping forecast?

Fantastic piece of music. Perhaps it should be our national anthem and we could all calm down a bit.
Good on all of them, his isn't football where we have emotional attachments to these people. In this instance I can happily stand back and say, hand on heart. "Fair play for pulling that amount of cash in" as opposed to "you greedy fucking twunt, you earn xxxx for slicing passes and pussying out of challenges"
I have no axe to grind with the BBC. I'm a bit fucked off about the government making me and my compatriots work until we are 68 before being able to draw 50 quid a week and make the decision on whether I starve or freeze to death when winter comes calling though. Fucking shiny faced horse fiddlers, I'd glady take one of them cunts out for a day doing my job and see how they'd feel about still having to do it at 50 let alone 68. Fucking wankers
