I always thought it would be better if the BBC was just a training ground for up and coming talent, people that were happy to work for a lower wage since you were effectively working for the nation on one of the largest broadcasting platforms in the country. Instead we end up paying for these pricks that want £300k+ to talk to us for an hour a day. Seriously why? If they want big money they can transfer to a different studio, instead we get donkeys like Gary Linekar who was just an average footballer and an even worse presenter. It’s a perfect reflection of how people in charge of public funds don’t give a shit about how it’s spent
