Yeah, but BBC Prime is hardly a cash cow, never mind BBC World. If the rights issue is dealt with, BBC1 and 2 could be offered to satellite operators across Europe, especially Benelux and Nordic ones. Roy Perry's website is down, buy the way.

You SHOULD hate Murdoch. He has a vendetta against the UK. He thinks that we speak with 'strangulated accents'. A bit rich for someone from Adelaide, whose citizens' strangulated speech pattern is the ugliest in Australia.
