Come On, Something Stinks Here, Right? 

I'm very happy to include myself amongst them, thanks to ChilliJonCarne.

Me too

Court payout compensation,

Let the death spiral roll

No wayne, it is up because they can, now that the price freeze has been lifted. No real need.

Same with the 'North Face' winter coats worn by outdoor reporters, at upwards of £600 apiece.

If it has the BBC Logo, that makes it “a uniform” for tax purposes. It’s a tax dodge.

rab these days

I noticed the North face coats too, didn't think about it until I watched this! :)

No the Daily Mirror is not a proper paper, it's what I would call a PLOPPER PAPER - it's for cutting into small squares and hanging on a nail in the outside lavvy, one of those papers.😅

Obviously getting money from the listed product producers, The BBC is crooked. cancel your licence now

They don't give it away. They sell it overseas. Which technically, means, of yourba license fee payer, you count as an investor. Where is your return on investment? Where are your dividends? Why aren't the bbc ceo's being held to account for failing to carry out their fiduciary duties to the investors?

someone should investigate but the way inquiries go in modern life I won't hold my breath.

Few if any programs now on the antiques purely as an informative broadcast now. So much on the modern BBC is about the money to be made from whatever they are dealing with viewed purely as a commodity.

I might be wrong, but back in the day, Michael Parkinson's guests didn't go on his show just to plug their new films/TV shows/records/books, although they did earn from being on the show.

They wouldn't appear without the plug .. the stars are generally contracted to turn up on shows and premieres.

Yes, but FedEx did pay to have their brand in the movie... Or rather the studio paid FedEx... And they were credited! The BBC were actually why programmes on TV in the UK have to now have a P logo before any show that has a prominent product placement... EastEnders fans noticed that FORD CARS, MARLBORO Cigarettes with their at the time very distinctive packaging and COKE were becoming more and more prominent in the episodes - The BBC tried to argue it was simply "Set Dressing" but a Government Inquiry decided that it was far too often and the items stayed in shot FAR TOO LONG for it to be just set dressing! Another show that the BBC had which featured what could be seen as "Product Placement" long before all the laws were tightened... LIFE WITHOUT GEORGE - Carol Royale is eating dinner with someone and can be seen drinking what is very clearly a can of Coke... This was teh 1980's The rules were looser and there was also a legitimate reason. In the dinner scene, Royale and Her Guest are having a meal, Carol Royale is a Vegetarian, So that had to be accounted for to start with (In the script hey were both having a Steak...) and Carol Royale is also Tee-Total... So she would not be seen with Wine in her hand... Was it prominent? Yes... Sort of... But it was NOT the focus of the scene even though t was clearly visible, Under the current regulations - This would be allowed! Though it is skirting the line! Mainly as NO ONE has actually decided what makes a "Prominent Placement"... Yeah, The laws are a bit of a mess... Its like how when BLUE PETER used to air, they could not say SELLOTAPE as its a Brand Name... They had to say STICKY BACK PLASTIC... But even now, We dont say "Scotch Tape"... We all say "Pass the Sellotape" - It does not matter what Brand it is... We all say PASS THE SELLOTAPE! Just if you go to Australia, Dont ask for JIFFY... You wont get a Contraceptive if you do... (It's famous brand of Sellotape!)

@@Phoenix2312 Paid or not, it was pathetically obvious and quite irritating

they could have angled them to not show the logos so prominently

No need to pay itis that simple

Are the BBC committing any criminal offence?

​@@DameEdna42yeah, look into the comic relief scandal. where they defrauded the nation multiple times for money to save starving kids, which they instead spent on themselves.

​@@DameEdna42 They protected Jimmy Seville.... They use contractors and coercion to intimidate and the public into buying their product... They spread lies about certain vaccinations....

He showed Del Boy saying "Get him the Daily Mirror" or words to that effect

The 'art, literature and journalism' clause gives the BBC carte blanche to withhold any info they don't want to reach the public domain. The loophole needs to be closed ASAP.

I seem to recall the subliminal advertising that inserted just single frames was banned. Your brain would register it, but your consciousness would not.

You have the freedom to request whatever you like, but the BBC, it seems, has the freedom to refuse to answer any such requests.

@@mykelevangelista6492 not just them

They used to do that at the cinema mostly. It would flash so fast your eyes didn't see it. Then you'd get this feeling you'd want a drink/popcorn, etc.

There might be hope ahead, I think the Premier league has just done a deal with Sky.

@@juliawigger9796 BUT Sky footie is broadcast live, so if you watch it without a TV license you are breaking the law.

lol well played

Does that mean the Peckham Echo employees' pension scheme got screwed over?

Can anyone read in Peckham?

Danke Sennheiser, nice little earner

I'd love that

Absolutely love one foot in the grave.

@HA05GER brilliant isn't it 😀

​@@TheSd1ckoyup Im currently watching it on iPlayer after reading this 😂 don't tell anyone 🤫

Got the full dvd collection of ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE that I pick up & watch for a few episodes every now & again, great fun, will be checking out all the product placements in future!

One episode showed the Trotters at the supermarket, which was a phantom name. They could have used that phantom company's products and carrier bags in the Trotters' home.

@@neilgoodyer9606 If the BBC didn't have so many unnecessary employees, they wouldn't need such a high TV tax in the first place. All those managers and pen-pushers have some tasty salaries and pensions.

Cheques are shredded along with all sponsorship payments... Cash only in a brown Inland Revenue envelope to be left behind the left most bin.

Just turn the dish.

They know or assume that the income from advertising wouldn't be as high as the money they make now. They don't have much confidence in their product, do they?

Are they a well known brand then? I'd never heard of em till last week when i wore some lyle and scott trainers i got free😂 thought they were some supermarket special

I'm surprised he didn't bring his golf bag, with the manufacturer's logo showing, for his armchair routines.

Jimmy Tarbuck was the same with Pringle 😊

yup, they look exactly like mine 🙂

They'll probably keep schtum as well.

FOI only applies to public bodies.

@@D7sdomainPublic bodies should not be allowed to hide anything from the people whose taxes pay for everything.

@@englishciderlover7347 I agree, but the whole FOI system is corrupt, just like the government that created it.
