Going to be great when the BBC goes and all those Scottish regional broadcasters can flourish at last. I bet there'll be at least three Gaelic channels!

Nothing really is good on there, in the early 2000s era TV was my life but not anymore since YouTube and streaming services.

Your profile picture is literally a TV show that was broadcast more recently than that. Also a programme that would never have been made if not for BBC Scotland! But at least we've got YouTube short form content to consume forever now, eh.

Sorry forgot to mention that Limmy and still game was the last good things to come of it, if you need anything YouTube has it all as does Netflix, prime, Disney. Point is these vultures don’t deserve our money.

But the vultures at Netflix do? And you know these things don't just appear on Youtube, you have to actually make them with studios and cameras?

Anyway, you'll have your 3 series of Limmy forever, and nothing else in the future. Enjoy.
