The challenge is the culture. You have to have a vision for the BBC-it can't merely be that it's big and has a place in the market.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The BBC fulfils a wonderful cultural function. Maybe the problem is that it feels it needs to be everything to everybody.
There is still an element of the BBC that feels it is somehow wrong, or it will be open to criticism, if it makes more money.
It was regarded as a responsibility of the BBC to provide programs which have a broad spectrum of interest, and if there was a hole in that spectrum, then the BBC would fill it.
I'm not certain that the BBC can claim to be making a wide enough range of distinctive programmes to make the case convincingly.
The BBC's television, radio and online services remain an important part of British culture and the fact the BBC continues to thrive amongst audiences at home and abroad is testament to a professional and dedicated management team who are committed to providing a quality public service.
The BBC can be infuriating at times but I love it with a passion.
I want the BBC to be a mass market public service broadcaster still funded by the licence fee... and the licence fee is more durable than many people in the commercial sector believe.
In my opinion, the BBC are one of the best producers of drama in the world, and it made me incredibly happy to get the opportunity to be one of the leading men in one of their productions.
The BBC is the greatest broadcaster in the world. It's the standard that everyone measures themselves against. If we lose the BBC, it won't be quite as bad as losing the royal family, but an integral part of this country will have gone. But then, I'm an old guy.
The establishment is a dirty, dangerous beast, and the BBC is a mouthpiece for that.
