At least the BBCs 'in house' adverts are between progams and as such do not detract from the substance of the programming.

Quote: I'd ideally like to have a pay-as-you-go system where I could stump up a sensibly priced amount to watch each programme.

I doubt if you would find any system where you could 'stump-up' less than 30p a day for four TV channels plus several radio stations catering for many music genres and a website (which is not compulsory to visit, Mr G).

Sorry for wanting a choice silly me

Kodachrome summarised my perspective on the BBC very well.
Al jazeera news is far more comprehensive for global news, rather than what the BBC think we should know about.
The only thing that the BBC do well is nature documentaries, and for the mundane rubbish we have to watch in order to fund the production of these documentaries,
I would happily settle with the discovery channel.

Regarding adverts, and adding to the time that adverts take, is the programme sponsors advertising at either side of every ad break.
There really is time these days during the adverts, to make a traditional pot of tea, leave it to brew, pour into a proper tea cup, add milk and sugar to taste,
AND get back into the TV room, put your feet up, before the film or programme comes back on, which is nice...

You forgot the choccy digestives, very remiss of you or the slice of Battenburg.
