We've already paid for the recipes through our substantial license fees (about £150/year, so I've spent many thousands of pounds just myself).

So the BBC should make some money off it (at least from users outside the UK), and plough that money back into producing new content.

The license fee is so high because the BBC are throwing money at things like this.

I'm not enough of a fool to think that the BBC scrapping all these "inefficiencies" will cause the license fee to be reduced...or even stay the same
