Anyone else?
I’ve never been over keen on CP, but IMO he’s done a very good job - I’ve found it fascinating.

I can't bear Diane Morgan and you can still listen to BBC Sounds. I listen to drama on it every single day. I don't watch those things you listed. I do like David Attenborough programmes though. There are loads of brilliant things to watch on Netflix. Countless films and series/serials. I have a long list of things to watch. I have saved a lot of money in delivery charges on Amazon Prime, apart from all the programmes I can watch.

We have one family member that subscribes to Amazon Prime and we all order through them wink.

Allowances please - Chris is autistic.

I can imagine Chris’s face if someone metaphorically gave him a Pat on the head for succeeding dispute the fact that he is autistic.
By his own words he is constantly angry,

I agree with GrannyGravy, allowances shouldn’t and to my knowledge aren’t made for Chris, because he is neurodivergent. He stands on his own merits.

I like Chris and I love the BBC, licence fee or not . People of all political persuasion say it's biased, so by default it probably isn't. It's class. Viva BBC.

I like Chris and don't think he needs any allowances made for his neuro divergence.

He is highly intelligent, articulate and interesting, a very engaging presenter.
