I honestly think those Brits inclined to complain about the BBC should see just how poor this sort of programming is in other parts of the world. For most, BBC programming is something to be envied and emulated, not decried.
Private services will only dumb it all down.

There are many subtle and complex arguments one can have about the future of the BBC — but I guarantee you that no other channel or streaming service will be as committed to factual programming, children’s education, history shows, religious discussion, poetry, arts, or state of the nation debate
