I know most of you guys probably know all this, but i just need to get this rant off my chest, with out signing up for ANOTHER site, just to yell at some people.
1) the Full episodes are not Filmed. just the non Studio bits.
the parts in studio, (lead-ins to the filmed bits, "the News" "SIRPC", etc) are shot on the Weds before transmission.
2) There is no lost advertiser revenue, because the BBC isn't Commercial Television. there are no Commercials, it's basically a public, OTA Subscription service. you have to pay an annual license fee to get the channels.(yes this is an over simplified comparison, but in general it works)
Obviously you have never watched a BBC channel. Commercials are a source of their income as well.
