Another "Comment Is Free" article from The Guardian, this time by Comedy Script-writer Stewart Lee.

At the end of the entertaining item is the following:-

"Last week I found myself watching a repeat of the May meeting of President Obama and the naturalist and former BBC programme director David Attenborough. Slowly and patiently, Attenborough made the case for nature. Its value was beyond the monetary. It was where our imaginations lived. And once it was gone it was gone. He could have been making the case for the BBC."

Mr. Lee's quirky-view includes his opinion of the recent Licence-Fee negotiations.
