[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 484592, member: 1607"] Some confusion is added by the fact that the BBC isn't just a single business entity operating in a single country. There are other 'BBC Brands' selling content all over the world, that was theoretically paid for by the UK licence fee payers. I recall a few years ago an article about how Top Gear, Strictly Come Dancing & Dr Who were three of the biggest revenue earners for the BBC Worldwide. So if we as licence fee payers, actually paid for the original costs of those programs. If at a later date, they raise bucket loads when sold outside of the UK, shouldn't that result in a reduction in the licence fee, as the initial costs were covered by UK viewers? Doc H. [/QUOTE]
