Harry, I love the BBC, truly I do. I would happily pay $10 a month if I could get BBC One in my house, instead of watered-down and program-delayed BBC America.
But a true state broadcaster based on a compulsory license fee like what you pay would never just work in the US. Politically and culturally, it would simply be untenable.
You are lucky you have the BBC and we're lucky that PBS carries some of its programming. I'm really enjoying "Sherlock." (And anyone who thinks it's making me stupid can... well, go read a Harlequin romance and pat themselves on the back for being ever so superior.)
