War & Peace, Dickensian, Largest Dinosaur in the World, Only Connect, University Challenge, Winterwatch, Masterchef ... need I add more?
Yes, the Beeb shows a lot of repeats if you're a daytime TV addict, but compared to the rubbish offerred on the commercial alternatives, I'd say they'd got a pretty good record really.

Write your comments here...it is not law or compulsory yet The news report which I have been following for awhile , is those that be at the BBC have been in a number of meeting's with the government putting foward this idea as they need to raise their revenue by rather a lot and government won't give them the o k to raise the TV licience, so no need to panick yet Hosta , personally I don't believe there are enough over 75s not paying the t v licience to make up many millions of £ the beeb are expecting to raise
