Anyone else?
I’ve never been over keen on CP, but IMO he’s done a very good job - I’ve found it fascinating.

I can't bear Diane Morgan and you can still listen to BBC Sounds. I listen to drama on it every single day. I don't watch those things you listed. I do like David Attenborough programmes though. There are loads of brilliant things to watch on Netflix. Countless films and series/serials. I have a long list of things to watch. I have saved a lot of money in delivery charges on Amazon Prime, apart from all the programmes I can watch.

HelterSkelter1 I listen to plays and serials every day. I love conversations from a long marriage, Sherlock Holmes, Gardeners Question Time, The Archers, Brief Lives, McLevy, countless other programmes.

We have one family member that subscribes to Amazon Prime and we all order through them wink.

Allowances please - Chris is autistic.

I can imagine Chris’s face if someone metaphorically gave him a Pat on the head for succeeding dispute the fact that he is autistic.
By his own words he is constantly angry,

MayBee70 yes, my daughter is always getting me to order things for her. 😹

I agree with GrannyGravy, allowances shouldn’t and to my knowledge aren’t made for Chris, because he is neurodivergent. He stands on his own merits.

Dont you need a tv licence to listen to the radio?

Emeraldforest Sun 09-Aug-26 21:21:12

I like Chris and I love the BBC, licence fee or not . People of all political persuasion say it's biased, so by default it probably isn't. It's class. Viva BBC.

I like Chris and don't think he needs any allowances made for his neuro divergence.

He is highly intelligent, articulate and interesting, a very engaging presenter.
