Do you need a TV license to listen to BBC radio?
I could live without BBC TV as there is some cracking stuff on the commercial channels, for example;
The Wire
The Sopranos
Game of Thrones
Walking Dead
True Blood
Boardwalk Empire
Seinfeld
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Dexter
BBC TV is just ok IMHO, the only thing I would miss is probably Ski Sunday and the odd doc. Really enjoyed Sicily Unpacked.
