SIR: It is time that all licence payers (TV) wrote to their MPs about BBC repeats!
We're being cheated! It seems that the BBC is economising at our expense.
Is it also the case, that the idea behind these repeats is to drive people to buy Cable, Sky, videos?
They are already supporting BT profits by asking people to phone in, for stupid questions, as is ITV.
It seems also, that we are given these many repeats (some many times) to spend the money on such as "Holiday" a programme that gives the presenters and crew an expensive luxury jaunt to such places that the majority of people cannot hope to dream of, never mind go to!
It is our money! We must demand a better service and value for money.
