Not to mention most of the music industry indie and major relies on the BBCs patronage to promote their wares.
I doubt there are many succesful UK based musical artists in the last 50 years that hasn't been given exposure by the BBC at the start of their career
And that really isn't an exageration
Been shopping, tried to have restraint, failed but not completely
Anyway, first up a soundtrack from the movie Men. Geoff Barrow & Ben Salisbury combine again on an Alex Garland project.
Chillingly haunting sountrack with lots of very echoey voice as instrument compositions. Absolutely spine tingling in places
Barrow and Salisbury are absolute masters of their craft, they combine their talents well
This also goes back to what Maitlis was disciplined for
In theory she was disciplined for stating her opinion but what she actually stated was obvious. Cummings broke lockdown rules, it was obvious to everyone except the local police force (yeah right) that he did. There really wasn't any ambiguity about it.
Also in the shit biscuit list are these. Never has a tin of biscuits ever been so boring. In every tin there's a biscuit that gets left to last. This is a compilation of the biscuits that get left all in one place
I think he does give a shit, thats the whole point. He would always have been paid more for work on other channels, he chose the BBC because he believes in it. He's on record as saying that more than once.
Maitlis is involved in political programming but she didn't break the impartiality rules, she stated the bloody obvious, that Cummings broke lockdown rules. That was a disgracful decision
That was a personal attack on someone's disability
Again, current events programming and it happened on air, that one was correct, it was unprofessional
None of those are fair comparisons
No you don’t, you just don’t realise it.
It isn’t a subscription you can dip in and out of.
It isn’t just TV, it’s part of the fabric of the country, it’s the state broadcaster, it has other purposes aside from entertainment.
It should be free of political bias in its output but it’s lost that and become propaganda for the government. It needs to be restored to what it was.
As OBE said it used to be a thing to be proud of. It helped educate most of us on here when we were in school.
It needs to be fought for not ditched like a subscription service. That really is Tory thinking.
