Don't pay for the BBC? Then no Doctor Who for you, I'm afraid

If we can get rid of the crap

i.e. all the stuff made for the CDE group who allegedly don't watch it, it might be worth a subscription to keep BBC2, BBC4 and Radio 4 (with a little Radio 2 for seasoning).

But the presence of a conditional access system is fine if you already have one (e.g. cable or satellite) but not if half the population or more have to get the hardware - and of course the cost of a CA is a net drain as well.

A hypothecated tax - which is effectively what we have now - is surely the simplest method.

I wonder what happens to my pension if the BBC runs out of money?
