      I’ve had a million letters, never once had anyone at my door.

      The adage goes “speak softly and carry a big stick”. BBC licensing is the most annoying entity in the country but has no power. Of course nobody will open the door for them.

      “This one trick could save us billions! Click to find out how!”

      Rookie numbers. It should be missing out on £4bn more

      How much are they missing out on by exempting the elderly from paying the licence fee?

      The BBC is a public service, and much like other public services it’s paid for by the young to subsidise the old.

      Ooooor, maybe stop trying to charge people for watching non-bbc shows?
      I’m sure many would be happy to pay for BBC as a streaming service, but I’m not paying them to watch other live shows and events 😂

      License fee is weird. It’s even weirder in Jersey in the Channel Islands where I used to live.

      You are suppose to pay the license fee there, but you don’t live in the UK or get to vote in UK elections. So why do they have jurisdiction? Even weirder is enforcement comes from the UK, I have never heard of anyone there having the BBC come to their door because they would have to take a boat or a plane over to do that.

      Bizarre to include £600m+ of revenue from people who have declared they don’t need the license automatically into the headline.

      I’m sure some are evading but plenty will just genuinely not require one.

      Lmao. Careful, you’ll get a scary red letter from them.

    10. Hot-Koala-846 on

      If the BBC went behind a paywall how many would still pay and how many would stop instantly?

    11. Snaidheadair on

      Probably save more on paper and ink costs if they didn’t send out (or contract out) the letters about imaginary investigations.

    12. Overseerer-Vault-101 on

      I wonder how much they would save if they believed people when they say they don’t need one? And then didn’t waste a tree, ink, energy, postal capacity, peoples time, and money chasing innocent people.

      I’m certain smart doorbells have a role in this. You can ask someone why they’re visiting before opening the door, so no inspector can say “I saw/heard the TV on when they opened the door”.

    14. International-Ad5705 on

      I’m not surprised. This probably isn’t even specific to TV licensing, it seems some people don’t answer their door to anyone, unless they’ve made prior arrangements with their visitors.

      Making it hard work and unjustifiable for the youth with better customisable online options is a very outdated model.

      It may also not look like, but people are more mindful of every £10ish subscription.

      Put it as an optional tick box to the electricity bill, and you’d see numbers go up. I don’t even watch television or the Beeb, but I would not mind at all adding a £2.50 most months to subsidy such an important British establishment.

      Actually going to watch the BBC for the first time in six months today, Ashes highlights this evening. Don’t have TNT so can’t watch live plus also kind of need to sleep anyway. Pretty sure I haven’t watched it since the snooker World final in May. Don’t get much value for money from my licence fee.

    17. Archelaus_Euryalos on

      People are just not watching live TV anymore, with internet services being what they’re no one needs to pay the BBC for content. And also, importantly, the BBC are a mouth piece for the state, they basically feed us bullshit routinely. Who would want to pay for it?!

    19. AbbreviationsAny3557 on

      I have a doorbell cam now because I was tired of unsolicited visits. If I see someone I don’t recognise or wasn’t expecting I don’t answer.

    20. Mofoman3019 on

      How much of that deficit is from the cost of sending billions of letters to people.

      I don’t need a license so I don’t have one. I also refuse to tell them I don’t need their service because the Onus should be on me telling them that I DO need their service.

    21. Ornery-Vanilla-7410 on

      How muxh would they save if they didn’t send out letters or employ enforcement agents?

    22. fujoshimoder on

      The ridiculously aggressive letters lead to a lot of people adopting a policy of hostility and distrust towards TV licencing out of principle. If you want people to be more amenable to the idea of talking to TV licencing inspectors maybe stop harassing them with empty threats through the post for years beforehand.

      I’ve just cancelled mine after realising that the last thing I watched on iPlayer was the Queen’s funeral.
      The I don’t need a licence page is quite funny, it requires a date, which is automatically populated to 2026, I updated it to 2076 instead. The confirmation email stated
      We won’t be in touch now until your claim is about to expire.
      I hope it’ll be 2076
