[n1 gull]

FFS BBC you over-entitled divs. Crap like this that makes the licence fee increasingly indefensible. Sake!

When you say the BBC have spent £87 million, you actually mean WE have spent £87 million. Absolute F*cking disgrace but once again no one is accountable

Given the shambolic, cataclysmic, nation-crippling political SHITSTORM engulfing Parliament right now, is it just me who finds the notion of the BBC currently being held to account by a group of MP's borderline offensive ?

 

[Durlston]

Good on them.

EastEnders is a national treasure and needs to keep up its high standards for the loyal millions who watch it.

In the interests of balance, there must be an Eastenders message board somewhere bemoaning the £200 million the BBC paid for Match Of The Day. Imagine the set they could have had for THAT kind of money?

That could've paid for a washing machine, alcoholics anonymous meetings and a landline phone for all the Walford residents.

The BBC have consistently produced the best natural history programmes in the world, as well as The Thick of It, and Alan Partridge.

As far as I'm concerned they can spaff whatever they want on shite like EastEnders and MBB, as long as they continue with output like that.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

They should be LUZZING all their money for Greg Wallace and more Inside the Factory.

"So Greg, we actually produce 20 million individual crisps each day"
"ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU SHIFT 20 MILLION CRISPS A DAY!?"
"That's right Greg"

That show is my guilty pleasure ..... partly asisted by me rather liking Cherry

Thank God for that - I've been boycotting this programme until they finally update the sets so, at last, i can start watching this show once again. ......................................................................................................................................................Said no one ever!!!

I'd prefer a world nuclear war with Walford square being the point where most of the bombs land guaranteeing the end of Eastenders.
Saying that, I bet a few of the characters would still somehow come back to life after the explosion

You can see it now, nuclear blast and shock wave comes crashing into the Queen Vic and Barbara Windsor's standing behind the bar shouting "Get outta my pub!" at which point the blast beats a hasty retreat, saving all the regulars

Turns out the blast had been carrying Robbie Jackson's future baby.

They need to build a stadium for Walford FC and their push for the Champions League, all they need is some derelict land in London big enough to house it. Somewhere around SE25 would be ideal.

 

[pearl]

Surely they could relocate to Jaywick!

Don't know why they didn't just say that Crossrail had compulsory purchased all of Albert Square and demolished the whole square

this could work

Shameful that the BBC can splash the cash from the magic money tree while trying to chisel pensioners out of free telly licences. Rip-off Britain at its best/worst.

Yeah but you do know that Eastenders is sold all round the world and is a top revenue earner for the BBC? Funnily enough I know the bloke who does the subtitles for Eastenders on Swedish TV.

What about the huge revenue it makes in sales all around the world?

The typical remark of a lefty, snowflake, liberal elite, trendy, remoaner. My daily newspaper told me to be OUTRAGED at the use of my licence fee, so no amount of logic is going to stop me feeling like they've told me to.

Why does it need a tax to fund it then?

Last episode of Greg Wallace doing Inside the Factory tonight. Best of luck to new host Paddy McGuinness, those are big boots to fill.

So, they're replacing a slightly annoying shouty bloke with a very annoying and almost unwatchable shouty bloke. Do they just bring in Paddy when they want to kill off a show?

 

[AmexRuislip]

I suppose the set does need an upgrade, seeing it still resembles the east end of London during the blitz.

I better not tell you McGuinness is fronting the revamped Bullseye then.
