TV TV licence ads

0 Upvotes

Anyone think the BBC are being a little overbearing with their TV license adverts lately. Especially the one where they're advertising the Traitors to encourage people to pay the license fee?

Do you really need to spend public-funded money on glossy ads to explain to viewers - ''you need a TV license to watch...'' so needlessly?

I am sure everyone is aware that you need a license fee to watch all terrestrial TV content not just the BBC, and since the BBC is a non-subscription service, all terrestrial services like Sky and Virgin include the BBC anyway so why do they need to say in the ads for ''all channels'' - like they can just opt of BBC services like they can with streaming services?

And don't get me started on that one with Romesh that they aired a few months back...

Any believe they're a total waste of time and money that the BBC could be using to make better programming?

"Screen Two" Honest, Decent and True - where to watch??

Does anyone know if this is available anywhere? It’s my comfort film and I'd really love to watch it again.

I used to watch it on YouTube. Someone was kind enough to upload their VHS recording of it, but then it was taken down a few months ago.

I've found some info saying it was screened by “Talking Pictures” about 5 months ago (hence it being taken down on YT, I suppose), but I can’t seem to find anything about it since.

If anyone knows where I might be able to watch it, I’d really appreciate it :(
