Don't let them in?

The sound of teletubbies is quite distinctive.

It doesn't have to be a TV. It's anything with the capability of showing their content I think.

 

Just don't pay it. The sooner more people tell the corrupt BBC to fuck off the better. We're supposed to live live in one of the most forward thinking countries in the world but it's a criminal offence not to have a licence if you own anything that can show TV.

 

 

Is right.

The amounts of repeats on BBC One and ITV, especially at weekends, is a joke.

I would have thought repeats would be right up your alleyway.

This thread has shocked me. 

 

ITV has a show worth watching?

LLF is the best program on the telly but is also available via Kodi.

 

Found myself watching that the other day for the first time as a family I know were on it (Hazel and Kenneth), probably the first time I’ve seen ITV in years. 

 

Dont get me started on ITVBe though.That station needs nuking from orbit as if it’s LV-426.

 

We should be reimbursed for having a tv license simply due to that station existing.

Got a phone call off my daughter a few years back when she had moved into her first house. 

 

Dad there's some bloke in our house saying he can take our telly away

 

He'll be a TV Licensing guy, love put him on the phone

 

I can't

 

Why ?

 

Anthony's got him on the floor choking him

Worth it for CBeebies and CBBC.

 

The advertising on non-BBC kids channels is absolutely relentless.

Just do that old trick - eat the telly before they get a chance to nick you.

TV Licensing can only enter your home without your permission if authorised to do so under a search warrant granted by a magistrate (or sheriff in Scotland). ... TV Licensing will be accompanied by the police when executing a search warrant.

If TV licencing turn up at your door and and tell you they know you've been watching TV, they're telling porkies to try and get you to admit to it. Just ask them to leave and close the door.

Company spends money shocker. Maybe they’d be better off getting the staff to work in Victorian conditions and not promoting programmes so people don’t watch them.  Jesus Christ.

£3m on needless tat when they're constantly banging on needing to cut back on spending. Makes perfect sense.

Where do you work? 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Just finished watching Long Lost Family on ITV; not only the best program on  the telly, but the only program I'll watch all week.

 

Wondering what else I should do with my licence over the next 7 days?
