Anyone who believes that the licence fee should be scrapped and that the BBC should be treated as any other media organisation should have watch Planet Earth last night! From the opening to closing credit it was jaw droppingly awesome.
I remain totally unconvinced that any commercial organisation would have produced a program of such sweep and magnitude. True the BBC can produce its share of celebrity and reality drivel BUT despite the 732 channels we now have only the BBC can raise the bar to that level.
Of course the free marketeers will tell you that the guaranteed income the BBC has is unfair but the BBC has a public service remit and this no do astonishly well.
A big round of applause to the Beeb. And we have 11 more weeks of it!
