SIR – I am in total agreement with David Rhodes (Letters, T&A, November 2).

I too have got a ‘beef’ with the BBC.

Did we as viewers ask for that so-called digital switchover? What has happened since? I can receive a multitude of channels from all over the shop, but can I get the BBC? Can I heck.

The BBC are the jokers who insist on us paying their extravagant licence fees and broadcast to us a parcel of utter tripe. They insist on making multi-million pound contracts with so-called comedians who are about as funny as toothache.

Of late, the only thing I get from the BBC is the news, which I can receive by tuning to channel 80.

This has its drawbacks. My local news now comes from the Kent and London area.

A few decades ago, we used to get some decent programmes from the BBC, like Fawlty Towers.

I must be in a bit of a ‘Basil’ situation now. There was I thinking that my TV problems were their fault, when it all becomes clear to me – it’s all my fault.
