The BBC is a channel that's been around for years now, and is the reason we pay a TV licence, to keep it ad free . But is the £140 a year fee justified - are they giving us enough quality content ? I have to say that as someone who is currently unemployed, I find that the selection of programmes available to watch in the daytime is pretty dire . Now, if you like antiques or house programmes, you'll be in your element here, with shows such as Bargain Hunt, Homes under the Hammer, Cash in the Attic, and Escape to the Country taking up most of the schedule . These shows must appeal to some people (in fact, my mum really enjoys them) but not to me . I'd really ...  Read the complete review

The BBC in general is possibly the biggest waste of money one can have and sadly for us all we are forced to pay for it whether we like it or not, which other company would get away with forcing people to pay for its services even though they didn't need or want them? BBC 1 is a prime example of what a waste of money the licence fee is, my wife watches Eastenders for some strange reason but other than that we watch absolutely nothing on BBC 1 these days and the reason why is simple, there is nothing worth watching. Their daytime TV is atrocious and come evening time you get nothing much better, I mean with programmes like Cash in the attic, Bargain ...  Read the complete review

I guess most discussions or reviews of BBC1 inevitably focus on the debate over the funding of the whole of the BBC and with BBC1 the flagship of the whole corporation as it is the one that attracts the most viewers although I daresay that the BBC website in its various guises probably has by far the greater audience on a daily basis. I'm not one of those that slams BBC1 as I think it produces some of the best TV around and is far superior to its main rival the rather trashy and down market ITV with its obsession with ratings and advertising revenue that is why you get dross like X Factor on the station. BBC1 has been resposnible for some of my all ...  Read the complete review

I remember when BBC1 was one of the 3 only channels there was to watch, oops I am showing my age, but in those times I found it a very good channel and I have watched it ever since and found it to be exellent. Now it is one of hundreds of available channels to watch but it is a popular one and it does lots of variety of programmes, although some of them are repeats but I myself do not mind that as long as it is not everyday, but they do tend to repeat alot nowadays. They do soap operas, Eastenders probably being the most popular, they do documentaries, and they do home programmes which I love to watch during the day, they do some history ones too ...  Read the complete review

The BBC stands for British Broadcasting Corporation. It is a TV channel that shows many British TV shows, and a few select international shows. I only tune into the BBC occasionally because as a TV channel, it just doesn't do enough to inspire a range of people, and the range of shows and programmes are very limited. The BBC are however one of the most reliable channels, and I've rarely had a problem with the reception.. whilst other channels sometimes filter out over heavy rain and storms. Despite the lack of commercial adverts, the amount of times "Being Human" is advertised on BBC is just as annoying. There are SOME quite ...  Read the complete review
