BBC is just awful! They have no intensives to make good shows as they guaranteed government funding no matter what rating they get.

And yet most BBC shows are awesome.

Care to name some?

The only shows I watch are Top Gear and Family Guy.

I prefer to watch US TV.

Their nature programs are second to none, Planet Earth, Blue Planet, Lost Land of the Jaguar/Volcano to name a few.

Mock the Week, Have I got News for You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks are all great.

BBC's news coverage is far better than Sky.

They co-produce some great drama's with HBO like Rome.

Then they had the classics such as Fawlty Towers and Monty Python.

They also make great documentry/investigative shows.

Also, they have Newsnight, Question Time, University Challenge, Later with Jools Holland ect.

..............no comment.

You tell me a single broadcaster that even comes close to producing that much quality programming (and they were only the programs off the top of my head)

Nothing really. Maybe Sky. UK TV is fairly crap imo.

UK TV is not crap. Sky is probably the only cable service in the world which always has something worth watching.

The only circumstance in which I can understand your opinion is if you don't have Sky.
