Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

All these people who sneer at the Royal Family for being "obsolete", yet they never question why Radio Times and TV Times still exist as separate publications, interesting.

Only 23% of Python was any good. And Tom Baker was pissed most of his later seasons.
As with the NHS, I think part of the problem is how the institution has been so thoroughly sentimentalised in both the public imagination and its own imagination, to the extent that even a minor infraction is greeted like the Werthers’ grandad going on a five-day ket rampage.
