Background
The BBC licence fee is an old and outdated method of charging for a channel, they still allow a fee for a black and white tv at £57!
The BBC should be an optional subscription service, the same as many other channels. This would allow a much more affordable option and reduce the risk of people avoiding paying licence fees.
