Money grabbers!

Oh for the days when you just turned on the telly and knew that if something was on you would be able to watch it.  What's brought this on?  Well, two things - firstly I've received correspondence from BT telling me that if I wish to continue watching their sports channels (and they now are going to be the only purveyors of European football) it's going to cost me an extra £5 a month, and secondly the news that Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May are going to produce a "Son of Top Gear" programme - but on Amazon Prime, which, surprise surprise, is a subscription channel.  Whatever you think of the BBC, the whole of their output, such as it is, is available to any licence holder without restriction.
