How things have changed in such a short time. Tony Both`s Daughter is now a muslim convert that supports a terrorist group like Hamas and said she might start wearing a full burka.
In a America they have all digital TV and the only way to watch is buy a digital TV or get cable like bloody Comcast. This all happened when fuckin Bush was president. I watch BBC America cause they have the best shows...
@FilmFan1982 Yes, I know that. I'm just saying that to a foreigner, it sounds like a very strange way to do that. (We do have pay TV here, as well, but if you don't want to pay, you can still watch the commercial channels for free.)
@kittyprydekissme No it's ok, us Brits have some silly things to pay for..! The TV licence covers the entire BBC network, not just BBC 1 like I said before too :)
@FilmFan1982 so let me get this straight. If you don't want to watch BBC 1 you don't need a TV license? I don't understand I thought you need a TV license to watch any kind of broadcast TV in the UK period
@njboricuaparati BBC is automatically part of UK broadcasting, so isn't optional. But you are only paying for the BBC network, as they don't show adverts so need the licence fee. So all UK TV sets must have a licence by law unfortunately :(
@FilmFan1982 Thanks! One more question, Lets say I move to London and I order cable TV like from Virgin or something. Will Virgin charge me the TV License fee when I order or do I have to get the license first prior to ordering cable TV service?
@kittyprydekissme The reason we get half decent programmes on the BBC is that they are funded by viewers, the alternative is endless adverts and crap t.v.,( American style)...Cheers...
I grew up with this, and, as a "scouse git", I loved it and miss the show lots. Younger people are surprised when I tell them that Tony Booth (scouse git), is Cherie Blairs dad. If they put it on "Gold" it would be a hit-and I mean with all thinking people regardless of race or creed.
@daveyden1 They dernt put it on,because those of us that watched it first time around, knew alf was a bigoted sexist fool.Even warren when approached in the street by thugs saying nice one alf,Would reply Jhonny speight wrote it to take the piss out of arseoles like you! but i agree with you it should be aired,prime time
@TheLatchford with you on that friend, not sure it was the right way to change bigoted views,(including my family's), in the 60's, but, thinkers everywhere know where the humour was coming from and those of us left still able to use their own mind I would like to wish a very happy new year,( even the southern softies I am now related to via my wife in this strange place that Kent is!)

I don't mean to insult anyone, but as an American, the idea of needing a licence to watch TV sounds utterly ridiculous.
kittyprydekissme 4 months ago
@kittyprydekissme It's for viewing BBC 1. They don't show advertisements, so it's upto the public to fund them (!)

@njboricuaparati You have to get the licence first as far as I know, as BBC is part of cable TV by default :)
