We had a proper laugh about this. They'll be programs with people moaning about the lack of cashiers in Tesco, no bottled water in the co-op and a comedy based on the raise in council tax
I'm not too fussed what they mean, but Britain has always led the way where the Arts are concerned so bring it on. It can be innovative or traditional, the important thing is to show our amazing skills in this field using new technology. TV will always have its place.
Or maybe get rid of TV licence and Freeview altogether?
Or maybe a ‘new tax’ to take in all broadcasting? I don’t see why Prime, Netflix, NOW etc. watchers shouldn’t pay their fare share towards broadcasting here. How about all users of Smart gadgets to pay additional tax on purchase but just don’t call it a TV licence?
Maybe it's something to do with more and more people opting out of a TV license and not watching those channels at all. Good series make their way into apps like Netflix or prime anyway which are much cheaper.
Or maybe I just wonder where the money is every time the government says anything...
Just wondering what our ridiculous government are proposing. What is ‘British’ TV?
I admit to liking old fashioned detective dramas such as Midsommer Murders, Vera etc. and modern ones like Line of Duty. Costume drama is another favourite. I’d definitely like more home grown TV rather than loads of USA imports.
Just been watching Jewel in the Crown for the first time. What an indictment of British rule in India. Perhaps we will see more programmes about the iniquities of British rule elsewhere in the world and the appalling treatment both ancient and modern inflicted on the poorest in our society? Somehow I doubt that.
