The BBC would close down and that would be very bad.

Noel seems to carry a grudge against the BBC, so I think his motives for not paying the licence fee might have something to do with how the corporation treated him when he worked there, rather than the quality of its output. The BBC is in a difficult position, it can't please all of the people, all of the time. The overall quality of the programmes made by all production companies has decreased, it is now more about quantity that quality. You would expect, that the BBC, as a public service broadcaster, would not be subject to the to the full extent of the demands of the market that it is in, however those in charge of it are buffoons, trying to compete with ITV and Sky. The scam is, the more they compete with mainstream TV, the more money they will need, therefore the licence fee increases, and they will be able to line their own pockets. I think the BBC needs to get its act together. I still think it needs to be funded by a licence fee, albeit at a lesser amount, but it needs to justify the amount it receives with quality programming. I rarely watch BBC 2 or BBC 1. The only shows worth watching are Top Gear, The Apprentice and Have I Got News For You. Hardly worth the £139.

It would mean the shut down of the BBC. There is no money in adverts these days. Look at the mess ITV is in. In reality the full force of the Law would be brought to bear and it would be fines galore and deduction from wages. If you dont want to pay for a TV licence just don't have a TV or VCR in the house. Simple.

It is good to think about the power of the masses, but things would start to go very wrong if we descended into anarchy. What if everyone drew their money out of the bank at the same time?! Not paying your licence would just screw the BBC, I guess?!

1.There would be adverts on bbc.2.All the channels would become pay-per-view.The average tv viewer would pay more than they currently pay for their licence.You would be bombarded with total crap,because the tv companies would go for game-shows,big brother etc.Quality would go out the window.Appreciate what you have.

The BBC would go out of business and the channels would be flooded with the kinda crap they pump out on 100+ satellite channels that we all pay a fortune for the privelage of watching,
