The BBC license fee on 13:09 - Jun 5 by Lord_Lucan
Corrie is the Rolling Stones of soaps
One thing though, BBC didn't make those programs, the writers made them and BBC produced them.
David Battersberg would still have made his nature things with or without BBC, the only difference is that you would have adverts - although you wouldn't watch them because no one watches live TV anymore, you would just fast forward through them.
Years ago you bought a takeway to save you time and also because you couldn't be arsed to cook, these days you get it delivered to save you time and because you can't be arsed to queue up.
Oh and while I still have you all, licence is the noun and license is the verb. Her Maj would be most disappointed in some of the Americanisms on this board today.

The world has changed but The BBC hasn't.
Are BBC fans just little Englanders?

That's quite an old fashioned view in my opinion, after all the lock downs most of us have learnt to make our own bread, cook more of own meals and forsake the ready meals and takeaway cul de sacs. And on the way we have discovered that not only can we make better tasting meals than you get delivered, we have learnt to enjoy the act of cooking and are feeling healthier now that we can see what goes onto our plate and not get dodgy ingredients smuggled into the easy option.

I wish I could find a half-decent takeaway to be honest.
I'm not against the concept entirely and would like to be able to buy one every now and then to break things up a bit food wise.
But even those that come recommended usually turn out to be rubbish and I resent paying for something I can do better myself!

We are all entitled to our own views, but i think you are 100% wrong.
When you say "Most of us", where do you get this information from?
Takeaways have never been busier, they have done tremendous business out of lockdown and have been paid handsomely by Rishi in grants
Win win for fast food.
IMHO

We're all talking from experience aren't we.
You live in Ipswich which has loads to offer I reckon. The offerings here are a bit limited to say the least.
But for Zombies, stuck out on some island off the coast of Scotland, the local takeaway is probably some leather faced old dear selling heavily salted fish from a hut held down by rocks.

Ha, I don't know where he lives.
What I do know is since lockdown my kebab wait has gone from 40 mins to 90 mins - unless I am feeling energetic and drive half a mile to pick it up.

Got an excellent pub four miles away that does takeaway but now that we can actually go in there and sit down for a meal why would I get a takeaway? Also an Oyster Shed about the same distance away where you can get seafood during the daytime, say eleven until half three, but when I look at what I have in the fridge I think it it is too much faff to bother with takeaways. However I know people in Hertfordshire where I used to live who have given up on takeaways, partly because of cost and lack of variety but also as a way of avoiding unnecessary contact during the pandemic. And because working from home gives them more time for cooking, good way of breaking up the day too.

Well I thought the old lady in an island shack was mildly amusing.

Sorry, went off on one a bit there. Guess I should have pointed out that where I live is getting masses of tourism now so within seven or eight miles I have the pub, the oyster shack, another pub, a coffee shop, a campsite shop that probably has its cafe open and a big new restaurant. But I think there is a bloke who sometimes sell shellfish straight off his boat on the jetty sometimes. And an old guy who used to work a smokehouse a mile or so away and still drives out to spend the day there despite the place being in ruins for decades.

All the local radio stations who do free-to-air commentary for football and cricket is a massive service.There's Brenners and Micks all over the country covering games every week for every club.
Portillo. I used to loathe him as a politician but love him as a broadcaster. Great British Railway Journeys is top telly.
Bernie Keith's Rock 'n' Roll Heaven. Best two hours of radio of the week.

The news on any BBC TV or Radio Channel. Not having output controlled by powerful media moguls, like Murdoch, is worth every penny of the licence fee and more.
"not having output controlled by powerful media"...much better to have it controlled by powerful, corrupt Tory politicians

Just finished watching the one off drama 'Sitting In Limbo' before it goes off the iPlayer on Monday. Wish I had watched it when it came out, the BBC does these films that light up current affairs pretty well.
It won the BAFTA for 'Best Single Drama' last night, so I think it could be back on iPlayer sooner rather than later!
