I love the BBC from afar

This is all over LJ and DW already, but, well, the BBC means a lot to me. I'm US-ian, but I've been enamored of BBC programming (and envious of Brits) since The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy aired on my local PBS station when I was a young teenager. (PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, is sort of the US equivalent of the BBC, but brutally underfunded and slowly dying, i.e., it's what the coalition government wants the BBC to become.) I hate the thought of losing the BBC.

Yay, BBC love. It's fucking brilliant, and I think the £145 a year is really very, very little given how much excellence comes out of it.
