I also think the BBC is rubbish but for different reasons from many of the people on here who state that the BBC is run by a load of metropolitan liberal elites. I personally think the BBC is too right-wing, it is unapologetically pro-monarchy, pro-establishment and pro-religion, churning out hundreds of hours of content on these subjects every year, despite much of the population not having a religion (we will see just how few when the census comes out). The organisation is largely ran by baby-boomer white men. BBC 'news' is massively over-dramatised with many of the stories actually being trivial and of little consequence. The BBC also seems to suffer from the delusion that at 7pm we all sit down and watch the one show, which is the most mundane detritus I've ever seen. Finally, the BBC thinks that Mrs Brown's boys is worth charging me money for. For these reasons I say abolish the license fee!
