From BBC news to BBC productions to this, that and Points of View!
What ever BBC you get, be it BBC London, BBC Bristol, BBC North or BBC America or BBC Worldwide ect...
This thread is about the BBC.

All BBC Productions I liked/found myself watching.
And we have to pay for it.

[FryRulz]

All shows on there are crap apart from Top Gear.

I hate the fact that iam forced to pay a license fee that goes to bbc when i dont even watch the shows on it (apart from top gear) Why should i have to pay for shite such as bargain hunt or eastenders?

[ilovebender.com]

I heard people outside London tend to not watch Eastenders.

I wonder/half know already that the BBC will have coverage for the 2012 Olympics.
They pay for big names to appear on their shows, from Michael Jackson to The Royal Family ect... the BBC have interviewed almost Everybody! - those aren't free, that's where your license money goes.

[FryRulz]

Meh i have no interest for the olympics. I only like the winter olympics, and even then il be watching them on ESPN...

Exactly! Thats where alot of the money goes, intervueing people i dont plan to listen to. So why should i pay for it?

Its like being made to pay to watch the football when your not going to be watching it

[ilovebender.com]

...You like Channel 5 don't you :D lol

Love Basketball Nights

(And they talk about that guy from Croydon too lol)

[FryRulz]

Oh do channel 5 show stuff from america aswell? Because iv got ESPN America (channal)

[ilovebender.com]

Lucky, I have Virgin media, no ESPN, ohwell.

[FryRulz]

You can get ESPN on virgin, virgin is what iv got lol

[ilovebender.com]

Well, I have Disney Channel, lol
Only extra that's on my one... though...
If it's on my package, which is not free, I get it, if it's not, I don't.
lol, if it's a Free Sports channel, I do, if you need the Sports package, then no, it's locked lol.
Same with the movie channels, locked or free.
I rent a lot of films with virgin actually.
And random factual documentaries from time to time, TV is free, I can have TV on demmand, but, I know people who can only have catch up, and no on demmand, so I do pay for it.

[FryRulz]

Disney is boring lol

Iv got everything, music, movies etc etc.

So apart from top gear i dont want to pay tv license fee. But soon i wont be anymore :D

[ilovebender.com]

I can't be assed to cancel it, I never forgave them for High School Musical, I say I or me, It's just stuff my family do and... I get a little say in.

[FryRulz]

High school musical, omg i hate that movie so much!!!! Only decent disney things was the mighty duck movies and pirates of the caribbean

[ilovebender.com]

I thought H-E Double Hockey Sticks was a disney movie, turns out it's actually ABC, Disney Channel UK lied to me lol.
Anyways... that's a great movie on Disney Channel...
Oh, and what Disney do with Pixar is cool.
Disney channel is great man lol, well, older Disney Channel. anything before 2006

[frys_red_jacket]

[FryRulz]

The only show there i know is only fools an horses...

[The Illusive Man]

the bbc programmes i like watching are red dwarf, young ones, only fools and horses, 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps, grown ups and birds of a feather

Most of those arn't even shown on BBC anymore apart from Pints of Lager

[frys_red_jacket]

i know i was mentioning old ones too, if i went by now though then it would be only 2 pints

[The Illusive Man]

Red Dwarf too, the new ones anyway.

[JetGirl]

the bbc programmes i like watching are red dwarf, young ones, only fools and horses, 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps, grown ups and birds of a feather

yay the young ones!

[FryRulz]

Apart from Only fools and horses, the other shows in that list are rather poor....

American and japanese shows are far more better

[JetGirl]

well before you said you hadnt' even heard of the other ones so to say they are poor is a rather odd statement to make. personally i think the young ones was a great show along with Are you being served? and Doctor Who :)

the rest in that last i've never heard of, aside from red dwarf but have never seen it myself.

[FryRulz]

Iv grown up with having to watch the BBC my whole life, and generally all the shows on it are poor, and to me every old english show is just crap. And i dont like that my tv license money goes towards poor shows

[The Illusive Man]

I've mentioned Top Gear numerous times to you.

Some of the shows are poor but alot on the list are great like Red Dwarf and Blackadder, seriously Blackadder is poor? come on its got Rowin Atkinson and Stephen Fry in it for christ sake.

[FryRulz]

Watched blackadder and never got into it tbh

[Cloverfield]

Blackadder is tricking awesome. I have all 4 seasons. Season 2 is the best! Rowans best work.

[The Illusive Man]

I thought WW1 was the best one although 2 was very good

[Sharktopus]

What about Monty Python? Absolutely Fabulous?
I grew up with these and The Young Ones.

[JetGirl]

This Wheel's on Fire" is a song written by Bob Dylan and Rick Danko. It was recorded by Dylan and The Band during their legendary 1967 sessions, portions of which (including this song) comprised the 1975 album The Basement Tapes. The Band's own version appeared on their 1968 album Music From Big Pink.

In 1968, a version by Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger and The Trinity became a hit in the United Kingdom. It peaked at number five on the UK singles chart. With its use of distortion, the imagery of the title and the group's flamboyant dress and performance, this version came to represent the psychedelic era in British music. Driscoll recorded the song again in the early 1990s with Adrian Edmondson (Vyvyan from The Young Ones!) as the theme to the BBC comedy series Absolutely Fabulous, whose main characters are throwbacks to that era.

In 1987, the song was covered by English rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees for their all-covers album, Through the Looking Glass. Released as the first single from that album, the Banshees' version climbed to number fourteen on the UK singles chart.

Other artists who have released their own versions, include The Byrds, Hamilton Camp, Phil Lesh, Golden Earring, The Hollies, Ian and Sylvia, Les Fradkin, Leslie West, Serena Ryder, and Guster.
