Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I refuse to watch adverts on the TV so it's BBC for me. At least the others give you a choice. With BBC you have no choice in paying a TV licence. I would happily delete all BBC channels if it meant I didn't have to pay a TV licence. I don't need a licence and even when I did get one it's fantastic value for money IMO. If I compare the BBC output to what they serve up in Holland it's decades ahead. Be careful what you wish for as it's the only good TV broadcaster in the world. As for choice regarding adverts my personnel view is that people have got something seriously wrong with them if they watch them at all. The advertisers know that X% will fall for it and actually purchase, I don't want to be in their statistics in any way. Also everytime you watch one it gives money to people like ITV, that's never good.

Bazdavies79 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 This thread was started before most VTer's were born. Oh and for the record, BBC win my vote. They're shit but at least with the bbc you know your not going to be watching an advert for Kingsmill bread when the 90th minuet winner goes in.
villa4europe Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 what i dont get with the BBC is how people say they love it cos it has no adverts but then dont seem to see how they have 2-3 minutes of adverts for other BBC products between shows, radio 1 is constantly plugging other BBC stuff rather than playing music
rjw63 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 my personnel view is that people have got something seriously wrong with them if they watch them at all personal GOTCHA :-)

A film on the BBC takes 90 minutes as there is no stopping, that is why it is streets ahead of anyone else. (rjw63 :oops: DAMM DAMM DAMM, I have been so careful lately with the spelling)

Maybe if they put something on that I enjoy watching I'd find out. Doubt they are as good as Sky anyway - at least they give you a choice if you want it pay for it, that is the way it should be.
Guest Ricardomeister Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 BBC simply because they do not have Pleat
trimandson Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 BBC simply because they do not have Pleat Yes yes yes yes yes, I cannot watch anything with that blokes on it, he's the worst commentator in Europe.
CastleBromVilla Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Could only be the BBC for me! Agree Can't be doing with the likes of David Pleat on ITV, blokes lost his marbles!
