So this stuff we are "forced" to pay for via the TV licence, but we cannot see.. Think the BBC should be privatised.. TopGear is worth a few million for a star

  No thankyou. BBC worldwide does just fine earning from the channel's exports and otherwise the BBC maintains a fine standard of ad-free media.

    Then let those who want the BBC pay for such a thing. I see no good reason why I should have to subsidise your tastes.

  Top Gear is privatized. That's what BBC Worldwide is about. They sell the programme to foreign markets, they also licence it if countries want to make their own version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_%282002_TV_series%29#International_productions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_%282002_TV_series%29#...

  At least you're only forced to pay for the BBC if you watch TV. You're "forced" to pay for the commercial channels every time you buy something that's advertised on them.
