Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

@Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

@mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

@Marionblacker1 @implausibleblog Exactly. And theirs is paid by compulsory licence fee to watch a TV even if you don’t want to watch their channels but just freeview. Sad for poor families & elderly who maybe already struggling with cost of living.Obscene really.

Watching Ideal World on Freeview ch 51. Peter Simon still flogging stuff you never knew you needed. Exercise freak is advertising a vibrating machine and he has varicose veins. Much preferred Simon on Bid TV where he was allowed to go bonkers. He looks fitter now tho, relatively.

@PugTrev Absolutely bang on. The BBC is not an essential service, and the taxpayer should not be forced to pay for it, just for the privilege of watching Freeview on their own television sets! #DefundTheBBC @RishiSunak

@BBC The viewing public are not ‘celebrating’ being forced to fund your moribund corporation. The BBC is not an essential service, so the taxpayer should not be forced to pay for it, just for the privilege of watching Freeview on their own televisions. #defundthebbc
