Political pundit ask Kier on his brand new Political Radio Show what will he do about Oasis ticket pricing.

Then he asks what about the Downing Street pet for the family.

Keir Starmer is sat on his first show in front of him, and they are the two questions he asks on the first day of Parliament !!!!

BBC 'crap' personified.

I do think the BBC is worth every penny I paym I'd have paid the fee just for Radio 4 and BBC4 alone, if they keep it being supplied with content.

Only bbc I listen too is local radio, though older presenters are getting removed not by choice. But love test match special as its comedy gold at times and miss the wind ups with boycott

For music, it's greatest hits and Ken Bruce with pop master every time

Isn’t it common practice for interviewers to provide a list of questions/topics to the press team beforehand for them to ok them, those were probably the only two he was prepared to answer

Me too… a fan of local radio and of 5 live

Plus the amount of podcasts they put out on different issues and subjects is amazing

The only good thing on the BBC is test match special. The rest is absolute sh!te and all of the news/politics is massively biased towards this current Governement.

What has watching television,with or without a licence, got to do with the cultural value of BBC Radio?

Different media, different appeal and different licensing conditions.

Biggest difference is that BBC Radio is generally intended for people who still use their brains rather than living in a soma based society.

It infuriates me when people just think of the BBC as just TV .. or a news organisation

You’d miss it more than you realise… for example the world leading natural history unit… or their children’s department… or like others have said their local radio or podcast output…

It's worth every penny and those who wouldn't miss it, well try not listening, watching or downloading anything that is BBC oriented for a month.

If you are watching tv, you need a tv license. If you don’t pay, those who do pay are finding you.

Grow up, pay the license. You’re not the “rebel” you think you are

I actually do like some of the BBC's output, I just don't have much time to watch it. Nor in fact any TV.

The fee is worth it just for the infinite monkey cage alone, not to mention all the sports coverage, reruns of old sit coms, political show's and interviews the cultural diversity you can listen to, obscure music, mainstream music and much much more with the added bonus of no adverts

"If you are watching tv, you need a tv license. If you don’t pay, those who do pay are finding you."

You only need a licence to watch, live stream, or record broadcast TV, or if you use the BBC iplayer. Technically you don't need a licence to watch Sky Sports, but it only legally comes as a bundle with the terrestrial channels.

The guy above says that he's watching TV from other countries, and illegal Sky Sports. If that's true, he doesn't need a TV licence.

Again? Really? We are referring to a different poster, the one who boasted about using “a dodgy box” to watch tv.

Again, if you don’t own a tv or watch tv on your computer, as you say, then you’re fine.
