Yes that's of the highest order aswell..More or less shite than Mrs Browns Boys?
I missed the previous argument, and logically nobody could really justify the TV licence. But.....Another example of why I think the TV License model is archaic and should be abandoned - but I've had that argument on here before, and will avoid getting into it again!!

I know what 'jumped the shark' means (and where it came from) but really can't think how it applies to HIGNFY. Care to explain?
Generally it is accepted to mean a show (usually a comedy or drama) that has introduced a ridiculous plot point and is never the same again. Sort of what you meant but not quite (unless the meaning has evolved without me noticing, which is 100% possible!).I thought it just meant that a programme used to be good and now its shite? Personally I always think thats harsh on the Fonz, the man jumped over a a shark on water skis, can't see Ian Hislop managing that.
Well I was going to argue about the inclusion of Nigella. If he doesn't want her, she's more than welcome around mineWhoa, steady on fella! You can take one of the list but agree with crapness of the rest.
Worlds Strongest Man is an essential watch in our house post Xmas!

Radio 1 ( giving new acts a platform)
Radio 6
Radio 4
Radio Oxford
Plus some minority TV programmes.
The downside of losing the TV licence is the 'dumbing down' and loss of some really high quality radio/ TV.
I appreciate that there is now Amazon etc.
I can understand your perspective, but I also think itβs a bit optimistic. Radio maybe cheap, but without some sort of charter or constitutional commitment, the fate of any centrally funded radio will be short-lived and massively prone to the whims of populist government (which is what weβre going to be stuck with for a while).I'd agree that BBC Radio is great.
But radio is not that expensive, and the government could easily keep the services going without the need to charge a Β£169.50 annual TV tax.
Plus, there's some terrific radio stations round where I live - both commercial and member-supported. Radio doesn't need to be public to be good.
TV is much more expensive, and there is absolutely masses of quality content across a wide range of genres being developed through the streaming platforms.
It's beyond time to let people choose what they want to watch (and therefore what they want to pay for) rather than force everyone to pay a tax in order to prop up one broadcasting corporation.
I suggest you stick to Celebrity Catchphrase!HIGNFY is pure shite of the highest order
