Is the TV Licence fee worth it?
Poll Started 1st April 2008: Is the TV licence fee worth it? It costs £135.50 a year for any home with a colour TV, and pays for the BBC - that's TV, radio, regional programmes and BBC online (Read the TV Licence Guide). We’ve run the same poll twice before, have views changed? Is it worth it? Which of these is nearest to your view?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
