for luring me into an interview with Gail Porter on Radio 5 this afternoon, and promising me that I would be able to watch a documentary tonight at 10pm about Prostitution that I would be phenominally interested in especially from a feminist pov, paying particular attention to those women who apparently seem to 'enjoy' their choice of job (of which there are a few, so I have been promised) and to find out at the end of the interview that I can watch it on..........CURRENT TV! CURRENT TV??? Wtf is CURRENT TV?

There is a recession. I cannot afford £45pm for cable/satelite tv - it's struggle enough as it is. I pay my licence fee though.

My point is, ignorance is bliss. Don't dangle the carrot BBC unless you can provide. Now it has been dangled I want it and can't have it and I'm cross .

AIBU?

nikkershaw - thanks for the link. Have looked and it would appear that I may be able to view after all .

If that is the case thank you and I apologise to the BBC!

PS. does look/sound good for anybody who is interested.

I'm frequently cross with the BBC - mainly due to the drop in quality of programming.
Even the news is dumbed down.
Hoping it will get better on BBC1 now Jay Hunt is leaving
