    Please, don't bring up the BBC, then someone will bring up the fact that everone HAS to buy a TV license if they have a TV, whether they watch the BBC or not.

    Then someone with a complete lack of understanding of the way the BBC works, will call it a puppet of the government.

    Then finally someone will pour scorn on the actual quality of the programming in comparison to their country.

    And finally it'll all just get messy.
