Once again, the Bolshevik Broadcasting Company is paying non licence fee payers to win prizes whilst the makers of the programme have a good all jolly up in the USA.... at our expense.

Its disgusting.

The Licence Fee must end. The BBC must be privatised.

Whinge, Whinge, Whinge - all the time Rolling Eyes

Couldn't this have gone in the existing TV Licence thread?

AND - just to point out, the money that they use is NOT given to the contestants, anything bought with it is BBC property (until it is auctioned) and the contestents DO NOT have any financial gain as a result...

Oh do shut up.

The money they one (all of $100) is paid for by the money made on the phone in competitions not the license fee.

Programmes external of the U.K. are NOT funded by the license fee, you know that so stop pushing it otherwise to gain attention to yourself.

Is this a BBC WW production like Ground Force USA?

Honestly Steve stop whinging on - you are so boring.

Twas what I was thinking. If it was commissioned by BBC America/Worldwide, the licence fee has nowt to do with it. If it is a UK thing, it still has nothing to do with it because the funds would have been raised through enterprise such as telephone lines as already mentioned. Otherwise it's being taken from the budget already given to BARGAIN Hunt.

steveimp has reported all of these posts as abuse, it would appear. And moreover, he actually took the time to report all of them, instead of ticking the simpler "check posts in the vicinity" box.

Unfortunately, steveimp, I don't consider the bulk of this to be abuse. Instead of putting forth an opinion and then leaving the thread, perhaps you could consider possibly replying to the topic. I understand you frequently say that if you do respond, we'll ban you because of what you say. However, I put it to you that if you respond thoughtfully and positively, this will most certainly not happen.

Or, conversely, you could continue to hide behind the RTP queue ... Rolling Eyes

Whilst I'm not the BBC's biggest fan, I would have to argue with stevegimp that any programme needs some sort of budget... and the money given to contestents on BH is pretty vital to the aim of the show. Whilst I'd agree entirely if the BBC was churning out Who Wants to be a Millionare?, I don't think this show justifies such a vicious backlash.

Fame Academy deserved one though. Scrap the license fee, I don't want my money paying for that crap.

I sooooo HATE David Dickinson presenting! He is awful, sooooo cheesy, and Camera Hoggs loads!!! I hate his sketches and they call him "the duke", more like "the idiot"!!!

Why can't the BBC axe him? Surely there is no-one out there that likes him!!!
They should hire Tim Wonocott, give him a try! He sercently isn't as bad as David! Or get a new bloke in!
AXE DAVID

Sorry, had to let it out! Smile

LoveTV!! Very Happy

One of next week's CIN live editions should be interesting.

Guests include Eamon & Fiona from GMTV versus the Duke's missus, Lorne, plus his 'Dead Ringer', Mark Perry !

Wonder if Mark will tempted to do the odd 'Duke' impression live in front of him?

(In fact does Dave like his impression at all ? I presume he does!)
