Victoria Deerbyshire was joined by Steve Hewlett, presenter of the media show on Radio 4, Damian Collins a Conservative MP who thinks the license fee is an outdated way of funding the BBC, Kevin Marsh who is a former BBC Editor and Jassa Ahluwalia - the star of BBC 3's Some Girls.

Whatever happens to BBC, it will always remain an important part of MI6 & GCHQ. UK needs BBC for its strategic national interest. BBC can be taken off the air, but they'll never pull the plug on it.

All BBC shows should be considered to be in the public domain. Their existence has been paid for already so to sponge as much out of them would not be in the public interest. Whats also worrying about subscription fees is the price of BBC DVD's. I remember Doctor who box sets  being extortionate in comparison to non BBC DVDs. I reckon they will do the same with the fee.

needs to end... immoral and paid for by the public without their will
