bbc, because i'm literally addicted to doctor who. like most students i know though, we don't actually watch TV. just iplayer/4od repeats

Yeah I'm looking to get really stuck into something like I was with LOST and Prison Break at first. Dr.Who doesn't really seem to be my thing but this Breaking Bad stuff looks quality.

They just send out mass letters to students.

I'm on my 4th letter this year despite having a TV license, fuck am I paying to phone them up to tell them to fuck off.

Yeah last year when I was in halls we got a letter every term, the post boxes that the university had were full of them, it's pointless as all you have to do is unplug the ariel(arial?) when they come and say you only use it for your playstation/xbox and they can't do anything about it.

Technically like five companies own all the media here in the US, companies who in turn pretty much own the government.  So technically we are in the same boat.

Oh believe me i know, hense why i was laughing at them having to pay for it. Atleast we get free brainwashing.

Actually it's the other way around, free dentistry, prescriptions, a lot cheaper university tuition fees for Welsh universities are just a few of the benefits we get. Guess who funds it?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuu

scotland gets more funding than wales and england

And they're STILL poor?!

Fair trade.

Imagine the outrage the mere phrase 'TV license' would cause if introduced stateside.
