🎥 First paragraph covers presenter commenting on midterm BBC review coverage and playing reaction clips
The presenter talks about the large amount of BBC-related news coverage recently due to the completion of the BBC midterm review. He says he will play and react to some video clips sent in by viewers related to the review, including an interview with culture secretary Lucy Fraser.
🚫 Fraser claims fundamental BBC changes can only happen at charter review periods
In the video clip, Fraser says that based on the last BBC charter review period, only fundamental changes to the BBC can be made at the charter review periods. The presenter disputes that any fundamental changes were made in the last review. Fraser says she would look to change the criminal prosecutions of TV license evasion at the next review period in 2027.
🤔 Presenter questions usefulness of midterm review if no changes can occur
The presenter argues that if no actual changes can be made to BBC funding and operations during the current midterm review, then there is no point to the review happening now. He says if real changes are planned for the 2027 charter review, preparation should start now given the long timescale needed for BBC to implement changes.
🚶♂️ Jeremy Kyle questions Fraser on BBC prosecution of vulnerable groups
A video clip shows Jeremy Kyle questioning Lucy Fraser about BBC's prosecution of non-viewers and vulnerable groups for TV license non-payment. Fraser avoids directly answering. The presenter agrees with Kyle's criticism of these prosecutions.
⏰ Ex culture secretary suggests past government blocked BBC funding changes
Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries says in another clip that chancellor Rishi Sunak had previously blocked her planned review into BBC funding models by calling it a 'taxation policy'. She suggests it is now too late to change the license fee funding before charter renewal in 2027.

Transcripts
hi it's me again and it's been a busy
week in the world of TV license news and
there I've struggled to keep up with
most of it the amount of Articles and
clips and stuff that's come out it's
been crazy all because of the midterm
review which is complete and at a toss
anyway but loads of you have sent me a
couple of video clips that you wanted me
to have a look at so I've skimmed them
I've chopped out some bits I thought we
could talk about here and um yeah I'll
react to them as always I can't promise
I'll get very far in before kicking off
as usual but yeah let's uh let's see
where this goes shall
we right first up I think it's our
culture and media secretary Lucy Fraser
so let's figure out how to make this
thing play a number of years ago it was
determined that midway between uh the
license the uh Charter renew the next
the the next uh Charter review period uh
is at the end of
2027 mid Midway uh between the periods
there would be a midterm review of how
the BBC is functioning uh given that the
last Charter review we made fundamental
changes to the BBC um so I've been
discussing in a collaborative way how
the BBC can improve did that just say
there that she had fundamental change at
the last chter review I can't think of
any fundamental change at the last
Charter review apart from possibly
freezing it for a couple of years but
did anything change did you notice
anything changing at all and all she's
talking about in this midterm review is
BBC
and ofcom because that's all they can do
she just talk all she does is talk and
it gets yeah it gets worse than that she
she the woman just winds me up the woman
just whs me up I mean I read a great
thing the BBC shouldn't have criminal
Tools in its Armory that you said this
morning on times radio which I
completely agree about this prosecution
of vulnerable people by the BBC itself
is an utter disgrace there are many
people who don't watch the BBC who are
being Target surely you want to do
something about those people
massively blim me well I'm not a big fan
of Jeremy Kyle I must admit but well
said there Jeremy hey well said mate
you've put that to her as I would have
put that to her so let's see if she
Dodges the question and also I don't
know who bought their dog to work that
day but there seems to be some barking
in the studio there so let's see her
Dodge that question about prosecutions
and the TV license let's have a look yes
I have uh I have said uh that I don't
agree with criminal prosecutions uh in
relation to the BBC our powers are
limited in order to change that uh as I
mentioned we can only make fundamental
change at Charter review periods but I
have said at the next Charter uh review
period um I will look at those criminal
prosecutions so she did say there that
the only change they can do is when the
charter is due for Renewal which is 2027
they can't do anything during the
midterm so what's the big chat
about the midterm review when you can't
actually do anything and also shouldn't
you be planning it out now 2027 isn't
that far away if the BBC n need to make
any fundamental change in how they
operate surely they need to know that
now right so why are you not getting all
the discussion done everything planned
out ready for 2027 if you are planning
some change which proves to me that
proves quite clearly she's not planning
on changing anything due to the
criminalization and the cost or the way
it's funded for the license fee because
you would need to be doing that now that
would need to be getting rubber stamped
written down and get the BBC to plan
ahead for
2027 so obviously she's doing all
the the news organizations that the the
public most trust is the BBC I
understand this review I don't think
that's true at all anymore sorry I
disagree I think what I'm talking about
you go survey from last year oh right
okay um well you can't argue with Jeremy
Kyle there can you he's clearly not a
BBC fan he's saying the things that many
of us are thinking and he's saying it on
almost mainstream media to Lucy Fraser
so that's good the other the other lady
I watched the whole thing his
co-presenter there I don't know her name
sorry seems to be a bit of a fan of the
BBC maybe she's angling for a job there
but we didn't really get a lot more out
of Lucy Fraser in this interview she
didn't really say a lot more she went
off all about stately homes and other
bits and pieces that are just not
relevant to me so the person that was in
the news recently talking about these
things one of the Talking Heads was
former culture and media secretary naen
Doris who you may remember back when she
was in the gig I talked about her a lot
I had a lot of Hope a lot of Hope for
naen I thought she was going to get the
job done and she's now going to talk
about it and it's quite interesting
there was a review that was due to be
launched about how the BBC is funded and
the BBC license fee and that was was
delayed by rishy sunak over and over it
was blocked when he was chancelor he
actually said to me no you can't do this
because it's a taxation policy and
Taxation policy is the treasury it isn't
a taxation policy but you blocked and
blocked it well that's interesting right
that's interesting so she reord she had
some stuff written down and it was
blocked by then Chancellor Rishi sunak
who called it taxation policy and it's
none of her business so there it is the
government themselves the that's sitting
in the high chair now admitting that the
TV license fee is a tax it's not funding
for your favorite public service
broadcaster it's actually a government
tax now I held out a lot of Hope for
naen I thought she could get the job
done but she does go on to say maybe it
wasn't wasn't all her fault the
government are protecting the BBC she
just admitted it there she also says
multiple times in this the license fees
is going nowhere and she knows more
about it than I know and last a few
weeks ago in December on a busy news day
the government slipped out onto its
website that it has launched the review
but it said the review would be
undertaken by an independent panel of
experts and they have yet to announce
who that is the review is going to be
done by an independent panel of experts
but they haven't said who it is well I
can Hazard a guess that there'll be
people who used to work for the BBC or
for the government that are supporters
of the BBC it won't be someone like me
who's critical of the
BBC no why would they do that I'm not
going to get the result they want then
are they the most important thing is
this that as a result of the government
holding up that review of the BBC
license fee the license fee is here to
stay because there is no way I was told
when I was culture secretary it would
take at least three years to bring a
change about they have deliberately
stalled until now and it is therefore
not possible to change the BBC funding
model so the BBC license fee is here to
stay how many times have I said that if
you're a regular viewer of this channel
you'll know how many times I've said
that it will take years to turn the BBC
around they're going to need at least
three years notice to be able to do
anything so if they're going to change
the funding model it's got to be rubber
stamped today because the BBC will say
well we can't just turn adverts on or
start a subscription service tomorrow we
it's going to take us a couple of years
to get everything implemented and
procedures in place and and rightly or
wrongly so with that that is what the
situation will be so it needs to be
sorted out now I've said ages ago I last
year about this time last year if you
track back on the videos I will have
said this is it the license fee will get
renewed again they might give it another
five years just as a temporary measure
while they work it out or they might
give it the full bifter again it's too
late now to change the license fee model
which is okay because it means they
can't change it into a media tax even
though they've just admitted it is a tax
that you can't avoid if it carries on
like it is at least you don't have to
pay it if you don't need it so it's not
the end of the world but yeah she's been
she's saying the things I've been saying
for
ages which uh makes me feel better means
I was on the right track and it will
continue to rise and people will 3,500
prosec tions a month are taking place
people will still be prosecuted the most
vulnerable people for non-payment of the
license fee that is the shocking piece
of news about the BBC that's not what
anyone is talking about and that's
what's been buried if you like by this
window dressing today of the fact that
ofcom will be holding the BBC to account
for its online content I think she's
right I think there is a lot of that in
the news recently there's been so many
articles about people with disabilities
or people being dragged to court who are
vulnerable it's been going on a lot now
this midterm review buries all of that
when you search for BBC like news
related stuff for the TV license stuff
it buries it all under this ofcom review
where ofcom are doing a great thing to
help impartiality of the BBC and all of
that it's buried all those vulnerable
people that are being prosecuted so yeah
I I always I liked naen when she first
got the gig I held great hope for naen
and I said I do remember saying I'll
have to track back some of the old
videos that I think I do believe that
she wanted fundamental change I do
believe she wanted to change the BBC and
I did believe even while she was in the
job that she was being held back from
doing it and it sort of sounds like that
I mean she's not going to burn any
Bridges by actually saying that but it
does sound a bit like that doesn't it
yeah and of course you refer to a
reporting yesterday Sunday Times Nadine
3 and a half thousand a month license
fears are being are being prosecuted
often in closed courts without any
chance of representation including
disabled people those in wheelchairs who
just miss a single payment and indeed
people that paid their payments for them
may themselves have been through
bereavements this paints a picture
doesn't it that of a heartless uncaring
organization only intent on making
profit at any
cost well they are they've proven that
over and over again there's no heart at
the BBC They Don't Care About You the
viewer the boss of the BBC C said
publicly last year he doesn't care about
viewing figures and they're okay to take
vulnerable people with mental health
disorders to court for not paying a TV
Subscription Service does that sound
like an organization that cares just
sound like an organization with heart no
they're not they it's ridiculous
situation anyway yeah and I think it's
um it's it's a the problem with the BBC
is a huge organization and it's grown
Beyond its own ability to control itself
and to regulate itself it's got too big
and you know when you have large
organizations whether it's the BBC or
the NHS that a a culture develops and a
culture grows and it become the culture
becomes so huge that doesn't matter who
you've got at the top they just can know
long it becomes a monster and it's a
monster they can't control and that is
what has happened with the BBC it sounds
like I've been on the right track then
with some of the things I've been saying
I'd like to interview Nate and have a
little chat with her about it I've been
saying for a while that Tim Dave is in
over his head can't manage it any
organization that brings in 3.7 billion
quid a year and can't make enough TV
programs to please the people and still
ends up with a300 million pound black
hole is knackered it makes no sense how
they can't do that the culture at the
BBC is wasteful they cannot manage it
and don't talk about some of the other
culture they've had at the BBC in the
past with covering up stuff the only way
to correct the BBC not that I think it
should be corrected I think it should be
ended personally or at least stand on
your own two feet would be to close it
down and start again from scratch it's
gone too far you know it doesn't matter
how often I come on TV stations like
yours or how often I write about it in
my column of the daily mail it still
continues to just roll on as it is
nothing takes place and it's to change
the process and and that's what we're
stuck with now we're stuck with the BBC
license fee we've probably got an
incoming labor government it will never
change the license fee will continue to
have to more thre and the BBC will
ofcom's best efforts will continue just
as it is again it's a fair point I mean
how many petitions have there been to
scrap the license fee or to give people
a vote on whether they need to pay the
license fee how many newspaper articles
how many campaigns have been launched to
try and stop the prosecutions or just to
stop the license fee in general over the
last 10 years I have lost count and
where are we exact exactly the same as
where we were 10 years ago except for he
going up again this
year nothing is working because it must
be so protected from the top as naen
said where is this going to go the
license fee is here to stay for a while
which is better than it becoming a media
tax or going on your counsil tax or
something granted but it still doesn't
make any sense in this day and age for
one organization to tax the people in
order for you to watch some other
channel how is this even making sense in
today's day and age in 2022 you were
saying the current model is completely
outdated and the BB the ofcom should
hold the BBC to account and we need a
completely new way of funding the BBC
what would you like to see
happen so the review which I had ready
to go on the day Boris Johnson was we
were ready to launch that the following
week um should have been launched years
ago I mean what I want to see happen has
been timed out she had a review written
and
done publish it then it can't it can't
go into power now it's it's meaningless
isn't it but let us know what you had in
this review na I'd like to know it might
be some reason she can't is probably
secret or something in there but I would
love to know what naen had
written in that review and I had the
full backing of the Prime Minister Boris
Johnson in launching the review of the
BBC license fee and in finding an
Innovative way of funding the BBC
without losing those core functions of
the BBC which are important you know it
is important to say the BBC is a beacon
of broadcasting across the globe without
losing those core functions how could we
how could we make it better value for
people in the UK who are having to pay
ever increasing cost I had his full
backing um but I didn't have the backing
of the chancellor Rishi sunak and it
doesn't appear that the people have the
backing of Rishi sunak now because this
is just window dressing and the BBC
license fee is here to stay well she
knackered that didn't she she knackered
all those Good Things She Said by saying
the BBC is a beacon and we need to find
a new way to fund it and stuff like that
and defending Boris Johnson and let's
not forget that Boris Johnson made an
election promise to keep the free TV
licenses for the over 75s which is a
government funded thing he got into
Power what did he do he went yeah no
we're not doing that it's the BBC's
problem now let the BBC fund it and the
BBC when we ar funding it and that's why
over 75 generally now have to buy a TV
license none of that ex she says some
good thing this was always the problem I
had with 19 she says some good things
and then she just completely ruins it by
saying something else I don't know I
thought it was interesting to hear I can
get rid of these now God for that I
thought it was interesting to hear what
she had to say because I I do believe
that she wanted to change the BBC
whether to suit us more or to suit the
government more
we don't know do we but I do also
believe she was stopped from doing that
do I believe Lucy Fraser wants to
fundamentally change the way the BBC is
funded and to decriminalize the TV
license
fee no not for a bloody
second and what do you think about these
I'll tell you what I'll put the link to
both these videos in full down in the
description so you can go and have a
look yourself and listen to the whole
thing but the Lucy Fraser one was mostly
related to the TV license feere apart
from the couple of clips that I showed
you let me know your thoughts on it down
in the comments below and way down there
leaving your comment hit all the buttons
and everything as well it can't HT can
hit subscribe all of that it's all free
to do and if you do that it keeps you up
to date with the channel and hopefully
I'll see you in another video again soon
why I thanks for watching
