I disagree. Why should they let the French watch BBC for free?

The BBC is free to everyone outside the UK if able to receive the signals.

i think you will find that majority of the people viewing bbc overseas, also pay the tv licence

Well I live in the UK and pay £116 a year for a TV licence. I would have to, whether or not I want to watch BBC and, if I don't pay, then I would be subject to a fine of up to £1,000. I wish it was free too.

Let's face it, the TV licence is really just a tax, although a percentage of it goes to run our (UK) public broadcast channels (BBC), it is a tax on television viewing in general, not just watching the BBC.

I believe that several other countries in Eurpoe have similar taxes, so really can't see where the problem is.
