Use to watch sky news each morning but Kay Burley really turn me off she was so rude to people she interviewed. I now watch GBNews who have poached many well known faces. In my view a much better news channel.
I too watch GBNews but only on catch-up as I binned my TV licence. Mostly in response to BBC remain bias. I haven't missed watching live TV. Most was recorded anyway and only the news watched live.
I also should bin my TV licence because all my entertainments on sky, Netflix, amazon prime. Both sky news and the BBC are anti Boris.
I'm glad you came round to GB News Hugh as you weren't too keen in the beginning were you ? I think it's great, of course I can't watch it live :halo: :halo: :halo:
Do you think we'd be allowed to if we squinted? :grin:
or watched on the laptop with sunglasses on ?
Do you still get Freeview Alex? Cos GBNews is on Ch236..
Yes I can get Freeview but we're not supposed to watch that without a licence :lipsrsealed:

Cannot remember that Alex, so I will fall back on my age as a reason. I will play chicken and carry on paying for a TV licence its not worth the feeling of someone coming knocking on my door. The forking out not going to break the bank.
If you watch live TV then certainly you should pay. If the money didn't go to the BBC then I would willingly pay and put my set top boxes back on. As it is I'll stick with catchup, Prime and downloads.
My understanding if you can receive live TV you have to have a licence. :?: :?:
If you don't watch live TV, why should you pay for a BBC licence which is what it is, ITV doesn't receive any of the licence fee as far as I'm aware ?
I've stuck to the rules and my telly aerial is unplugged, I haven't really missed live TV at all, Netflix is great. On the odd occasion, reading a good write up from a BBC drama, I'll think 'I'd like to have seen that' but that 'odd occasion' isn't worth paying £160 for.
Dramas? ..I'd like to watch a decent one but it seems that if it doesn't centre on a mixed-race marriage and various kinds of homosexuality it doesn't get made.. :angry:
The Responder starts Monday on BBC :upvote: I love Martin Freeman, he plays the lead.
Probably cast as a transexual lesbian if it's on the BBC.
A police officer, he went undercover in real life for this one.... to get the accent right :grin: :grin: :grin:
I've added it to my list of stuff to download when I get
(https://gallery.digitalham.co.uk/images/round_tuit.jpg)
I never seem to get around to watching stuff though. I started watching Bosch a while ago and and will probably finish season 5 tonight (3 to go if it is 10 like the others). I downloaded Grimm and watched the first. Might do that next after the remaining seasons of Bosch unless something else on Prime catches my eye.
I never get tired of Grimm. I think it's so unusual and the storyline is good. Gets better each series, you have some big surprises coming.
I like Munro, he's a good pal to Nick.
You might also enjoy the TV Series (not the film) of Sleepy Hollow. This is the trailer.

I've only seen the first and that was an age ago as after the first Bosch I thought I'd not likely bother with the rest. I'll probably rewatch it when I get around to watching more.
Sleepy Hollow on the list too. The way its going I reckon it will be down to my grandchildren to watch my library of stuff :smiley:
