BBC “what has the BBC done for me”

Am I the only one who silences the TV when the BBC starts with their advert featuring Ramesh Ranganathan? It’s the BBC advertising (but they don’t show ads or do they now) how amazing they think they are through the comedy antics (?) of RR. It just boils my 9!$$

I assumed it was to get ahead of any discussions about scrapping the TV licence.

It is a total cringefest.

I watched it for the first time this evening.
What a load of tripe.
Every time I notice the BBC bigging itself up, I cringe.

You must be watching a lot of bbc to be seeing it so much.

Oh, yet another anti-BBC rant. How original.
