The video Worst ever pitch, Worst ever product on BBC’s Dragons Den I found to be confusing. From the beginning of the video the inventor did not make a clear presentation of the problem his invention was going to help alleviate. Prior to pitching his idea he did not take any steps to meet with or do the research needed to ensure his product would be accepted by the local area that would be purchasing his product. In fact he stated that the woman who runs the traffic signals did not like his idea

Hamlet and Ophelia “This was sometime a paradox, but now the time gives it proof. I did love you once… I loved you not” (3.1.114,119). Confusion clouds the audience’s judgement reading this quote from Hamlet. His paradox insinuates that he is insane and truly did not love her. Contrary to belief though, this quote was a way to set his “mousetrap” and force her to be in the background of his grand scheme.

Literature review revealed that the BBC is not funded by government funding. It is funded through license fees paid directly by viewers. This distinction is important. A transactional relationship between any service provider and the consumer ensures that the service provider is driven by the needs of the payer.

Recently, Mariah Carey had an outburst on Facebook when a sound engineer accidentally uploaded the wrong version of her song, “The Art of Letting Go.” Carrey took it upon herself to rant on Facebook about the mistake of the employee, why she didn’t catch it, and ultimately decided to leave the old version up in order to compare the two songs. In the rant she even admitted that, “"There's no doubt in my mind that this sounds like a self-absorbed diva on a 'woe-is-me' tangent,” (Eggenberger, 2013)

fee A License fee is when viewers will pay a television license yearly. By paying this they will get BBC channels, which is given to the viewers from the license, they pay yearly. A government grant and the license fee, which is paid by TV viewers, only fund this. This also means BBC are not funded by any sort of advertisements because they are a non-profit organization.

when producing this research question, as there are many different genres of television available to the public today. I decided to look at Question Time, which is a long running BBC debate show, because it is one of if not the most popular debate shows in British Television. I wanted to look into the influence that the show has on its audience, I also will talk more about how this BBC show links into the ideals that the BBC claims it has, primarily the ideal of citizenship.
