billytheghillie Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Is it just me or is they loads of drivel on the box tonight? Strictly Come Prancing, Michael Mcintyre etc. So I just log into good old P.W. and put Bowie through the headphones. Why do I pay for a license?

Walker570 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Have not had a TV in the house for 31yrs. Recently staying overnight and watched on the TV in the room for 10 mins and realised why. Garbage. Even the news and weather is pathetic. That license fee pays for my cartridges for a season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Whilst reading this yesterday, I put the TV on ........ and to my considerable surprise enjoyed watching what it 'landed on' which was a documentary about the late (Sir) Roger Moore. A friend of my sisters used to deliver milk to his house (in Buckinghamshire somewhere I think) and said how nice he always was. What came out from the documentary was that not only was he a very nice and modest man - who everyone seemed to like, but also after retiring from Bond, did much good work for the United Nations Childrens organisation (UNICEF).
