Subtle. The alternative is biased commercial TV which prefers ad-spattered sensation over what the BBC produces. But I'm sure you prefer that.

Besides, the BBC amasses fortunes selling their programs abroad; Top Gear in its original form and in the formula license is shown in over 150 countries worldwide. And that's just one of their productions.

I'm not against the licence fees. I'm not comfortable with the money being wasted on a project so obviously broken by design.
