    Yeah me too. I’m Australian, but I really enjoy BBC tv shows, documentaries, and especially podcasts.

    Our own ABC was pretty great in the past, but conservative governments have hollowed them out. They do still produce some good reporting and podcasts but they have fallen from their former glory.

    Seriously, publicly funded broadcasting, which isn’t beholden to vested interests and advertisers, is an infinitely better model.

      Absolutely. And it’s easy to take a lack of adverts for granted when you watch public TV it has to be said.
