Unlike the BBC, Netflix has never had a compulsory funding model resulting in it being the main reason women were in prison.

Unlike the BBC, Netflix does not have a compulsory funding model requiring 180,000 criminal prosecutions a year to enforce it. Netflix shows are funded by people who choose to pay to watch them and can walk away when dissatisfied

I will not pay extra to watch Britbox programmes that I have already paid for with my tv licence.

Somebody’s threatened

Bodyguard was shit, the first 10 mins of bollocks, the hero comes across a suicide bomber, and what does he do. risk his own life and everyone else's to try to 'save' her, even after snipers had a clear shot. Yeah right. In reality her brains would have been all over carriage nr4

Can’t get away from the fact that Netflix spend ten times the amount on programming and yet costs the viewer so much less compared with BBC licence fee

LOL now when you said 'BBC boss mocks' that was enough for me. you had me out of the chair then. I really don't think the propaganda channel of the beep is in a position to mock anyone.
