Rochallor posted:Rob Schrab mentioned on the Harmontown podcast that the BBC wants him to put one of their properties into the sequel to the Lego Movie, which narrows it down to either Doctor Who or Broadchurch, I suppose. I'll be livid if it's not Danger Mouse, actually.

I'm amazed you can post this without being connected to the internet and thus being capable of finding it out on your own in less time than it took to write this post. Either way, all the information you need is in the first post: he's a guy working on the Lego Movie sequel.

Ah thank you for explaining where the song came from. It was frustrating because it was ubiquitous to the Xmas Specials, but I'd never heard it befor. Which is weird because my parents love Slade to the point I was able to realize Quiet Riot was just a Slade cover band when I was younger. I don't think we in Canada have a national christmas song, unless you count Bob and Doug McKenzie's 12 days of Christmas. We do have lots of crappy ones from Michael Buble and Diana Krall for people over 60. There's BBC, ITV, and Sky. Oh and the channel that has all the documentaries about the page 3 girls, which I forgot they name of right now.

It's very much the same here, especially as the BBC gets its budget cut yet further and if the government decide to privatise the entertainment arm of the thing which apparently is something that they are thinking of doing Its possibly because all those channels split up less advertising revenue than was available in the past, so they can't afford to make the same level of programmes they did before. Probably a load of crap though

And then the problem being that in order to get all the good shows, you need to buy a cable package that has a million channels you have no interest on. Yes I really want the cake channel just so I can watch Doctor Who. Though I read the CRTC, which regulates Canadian TV, said that they're going to force cable companies to stop forcing these packages and let people pick and choose what they want to have. So If you just want the Networks, AMC and the sci-fi and comedy networks, you can just have those. Does the TV levy in the UK go up when theirs more channels, because I always got the impression that the money from that went directly into the BBC.

The TV License pays for the BBC and their associated projects. Other TV channels are either funded by advertisements or through direct subscription (or, more commonly, both), including Channel 4 - which is state owned, but advertising funded.

I've never actually seen that before... Scotland doesn't really get "special" Christmas television because there really isn't time in the schedules to fit something in without bumping Strictly Come Dancing or Doctor Who or some big TV thing. Hogmanay is when they used to push the boat about a bit although these days you only get Its Only An Excuse which is kinda funny although getting very stale, maybe a repeat of Chewing the Fat and the same old shite in the Hogmanay show - probably because they can get away with that because everyone watching that over the age of 18 is probably pissed. BBC Scotland usually push out some half decent comedy every few years, unfortunately very little of it is networked (Still Game was in its later years, I think Limmy was as well) so no one really knows that its there.
