Attenborough is one of the greatest natural historians of all time in terms of his contribution to the educational enrichment of mankind and his ability to bring nature to life and make us understand it and love it. He is probably one of the greatest Britons ever to live and should have his face put on a British banknote when he dies.

Lately, yeah, but they've done a lot of interesting stuff.

The best thing to do is to take the best content from multiple places. For instance, I like listening to that BBC radio show, In Our Time, that a brit anon mentioned. Just listened to a nice episode about the California Gold Rush the other day.

No it isn't

If you compare what you get to a good newspaper subscription (the BBC news website almost makes them irrelevant), or a good TV channel subscription (like HBO), or something that provides many services like Sky, the BBC is *insanely* good value for money

You are judging the BBC on what it exports, which is a mistake, because the most of the best BBC television stays domestic

It wasn't originally defined at that their original definition turned out to be wrong.

"it was originally planned so that the circumference of the Earth would be measured at about forty million meters."

So they had to come up with another definition.

Its a cleaner system but they kind of had to fudge the definition of the measurent of length which almost everything else is based on.

For literature, Radio 4 has a few different programmes. There is Book of the Week and Book at Bedtime. Book at Bedtime can be so damn comfy, often in the winter they do adaptions of stuff like dark Russian literature and I make myself a cup of tea and listen to it with headphones

Also there is Open Book where the host and a panel (authors, critics etc) discuss different books. If you like analysis etc
