No commercial breaks + on the whole, the shows a very good, TopGear, Doctor Who/Torchwood, Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes, the nature documentaries with David Attenbourgh, a good variety of comedy.
Well watching American shows on the BBC is far better than watching them on American channels, means the excessively long adverts that US TV insist upon for some reason. Heroes, for example, is only 45 minutes (1 episode was 40 minutes LUCKY US!) while in America it's at least an hour. I (being 14) don't truly know the extent of the cruelty the TV License causes, but we could surely just watch BBC iPlayer online and avoid paying at all...
american channels are all financed by ads, like most of our freeview channels are (also ITV, channel 4 and channel 5) There also seems to be at least one freeview channel dedicated to commercials, though I can't imagine anyone watching it.
All of which make hefty profits when syndicated out through BBC Worldwide(the commercial arm of the BBC).
Nor is Terry Wogan who costs the BBC more than several of their lower-budget shows put together, I assume.
£30million a year I believe, funny how being a lisping weeaboo can get you so far in life, i lost all the repect I had for him after "Sachsgate".
It's why it totally doesn't suprise me that the BBC suspended him (most likely without pay) for so long: Get out of his ridiculously large wages. I bet them BBC accountants had a sigh of relief after Wogan resigned from doing Eurovision, also the year before we came 4th because he was tired of political voting and us getting nowhere. Just lol.
