About the TV license potentially being extended to streaming services?

No they don’t. They commission through Netflix Studios but they don’t produce in-house.

In basic terms, they fund original productions (with the input and oversight that goes with that) but they don’t do the actual making of them. They also do co-pros with channels including the BBC.

@GreenApplesRedApplesYellowApples it's really interesting that you bring up the biased reporting! It's been proven both ways, in different reports that BbC has report bias for and against Gaza! From a personal perspective I feel like all news outlets have been condemned for poor reporting in Gaza, but then at the same time the social media 'journalists' claim none of the horrific sexual violence happened on 7th October, which really angers me.

Murdoch's media outlet is much scarier, he actually has more power to sway the political landscape of this country than the BBC. BBC has done more coverage on the Congo/Afghanistan than most other outlets.

do me a favour if you would.
Will take you about 20 seconds.
Just google "does netflix have in house production"
or any source that you may prefer

It's called 'netflix studios' if you CBA, and thery 100% produce their own shows

Don't make me laugh!

See the Covid lockdown protests, Gaza coverage, the war in Iraq, the trial of Julian Assange, Israel merely 'advancing into' not invading Syria, 'explosions killing people' in Gaza not dying because of being deliberately bombed, literally anything Trump does or doesn't do, Russia 'losing' the war in Ukraine, Any LEDC making partnerships with China, for your unbiased 'world renowned news provider with a charter to present balanced reporting'.

The BBC is ultimately a government sponsored regime change PR guru. Not unique, so is most of our press. Most of any country's press. That is why the licence fee largely persists as policy rather than subscription. It's a convenient subtle propagandist, one most people passively trust and are happy to watch, it's not chiefly because of it's cultural aspects no matter what they say. It's the state broadcaster. It doesn't matter which party is in, it serves the overriding mission. It will occasionally throw out a populist view just to keep the illusion going. This is why I do not believe for a moment that Reform would axe it were they to win an election. You'd get a great song and dance about reforming and restructuring it instead.

Granted every news outlet has its own bias. But you can't see your own unless you step outside it.

It does great reporting when the subject at hand doesn't conflict with an over-arching foreign/social government directive. That I agree with.

I tell a lie, I did watch an ITV show last year and joined the chat on MN, which was good fun. I might even do it again if there's another series.

@menopausalfart sorry that did make me laugh out loud! I think we'd boycott most media if all of them were exposed!

Guess you couldn’t find any in-house Netflix productions then…

Gutted not to hear you explaining my world to me, though. Ah well. Thems the breaks.

@woodenbatandball That's the trouble isn't it? No one knows who the next dirty fker will be.
Thankfully, I never enjoyed his films.

@menopausalfart I hope you don't watch any produced by Weinstein!

Sorry but you laughing and saying it's funny to say someone is in an ever increasing circle of stupidity means you're not the sort of person I want to engage with.
Good evening to you

Lol. Now who’s being judgey?

Please do explain how production works to me.

I’d love to hear more.

@Anothercoffeeafter3 I love a channel four documentary! I think all the 'terrestrial' channels have some great content! Channel five is a bit dubious (though my guilty pleasure was the Hotel Inspector... don't tell anyone). Discovery docs are very ££££ some are great, but I find their nature docs can lack any personality! But I do love David A so maybe I'm biased! I don't have Paramount, but would love to get some recommendations

Please watch the Navalny documentary if you haven't already - was incredible (and tragic)

Nope.

Commissioned by Netflix, produced by the production companies stated above.

They do not make things in-house - they do commission original content which is produced by independent production companies.

You're offensive, unpleasant and weirdly unable to accept any viewpoint other than the BBC is fab and if you don't agree you're thick.
Oh, and for a supposed expert in the field you don't seem to understand how production works.

The only thing I watch on TV is movies. I'm glad that my hard-earned money hasn't lined the pockets of Saville, Edwards and Bartlett.

produced by netflix in their inhouse productions.

@woodenbatandball channel 4, paramount and discovery do better documentaries. That's before you look at the independent content creators on YouTube.

@Feelslikewinter my 90 year old grandparents have Sky!! My Nana will occasionally watch the BBC but even that is through her skybox.

That is pretty judgey and insulting, you are absolutely right.

Funny, too.

😂

Made by MRC and Trigger Street productions, commissioned by Netflix.

next?

House of cards

great aren't they.

A shame for @Feelslikewinter as she obviously has some severe memory retention problems .
She's told me a few times she doesn't judge what people watch and hasn't insulted anyone!

"it’s a terrible circle of increasing stupidity because they never watch anything that improves their minds."

nah, that's not judgey or insulting, is it!

Name one.

If you feel that your cultural heritage lies with 17th century Britain, BBC2 should have something you’d enjoy.

can you stop posting stuff that's wrong so I can stop correcting you please.
If you are referring to Netflix they absolutely do have inhouse productions. many of them
