Contrary to Sue’s long held and oft repeated views, I don’t think the BBC is irredeemably biased either to the left or the right. Their reporting is often first rate, they cover the main stories fairly and in depth, and - crucially and unlike some other broadcasters - own up to and apologise for their mistakes.

They’re far from perfect but just look at their output in the round, beyond the news reporting and excellent documentaries such as the Panorama programmes, the Attenborough wildlife programmes and the David Olusoga history series.  Then there are dramas such as the brilliant Blue Rights but also the recent Night Manager second series, Line of Duty, Happy Valley, Sherlock, all top rate productions.

And no adverts!
