Yes, and many people here in the US turn to the BBC for that unbiased viewpoint.

Hang on a minute. so were paying for your unbiased fewpoint. What a load of tosh. Pay your way United states it costs us £188 per year for our licence. And that's not an option if you have a T.V you pay it. They have detector vans and everything  :o

Then again we did get 'Family Guy'

Oh, we pay...we just pay differently.  We pay cable and satellite companies to bring the signals to us!

Now there are enterprising folks who simply opt for antennas, and are able to get signals that way, but most of us have bought into these other systems.

You can't use those old atennas anymore without a digital converter box. You have to have cable or sattelite to get the BBC. So we are paying for it.

That's ok then  ;) We brits have to pay a licence just to have a T.V. it pay's for the Beeb or BBC. But as I said 'the largest broadcaster in the world'. As long as you like Doctor Who it's all good.

Queen is my favourite band. 'Queen at the Beeb' does mean 'Queen at the BBC'

    No, he'd be a fourth -- I was thinking of Ed McMahon, Johnny Carson's affable sidekick of thirty years.

    Billy weren't but three years older than me!    :o

    I wonder if they'll find delayed trauma from the airliner incident?

    Billy Mays was no Celebrity....

    In the words of Elaina, my brother's fiance, "Its a bad week to be famous, I'm glad I'm a nobody."

    And, on the note of the news networks, NBC was bought out back in the 70's when someone was doing a multi-part series on the Kennedy assassination. Guess who bought it? The Bush family, and, speaking of Bush, Texas has there idiot back, and they can KEEP him!

    Although, I do admit, Billy Mays dieing seems a bit odd. Of all people, why couldn't it be that German guy duping all his stuff?
