3351 james ewartdirectortotal capitulation by the BBc paves the way for the end of the license fee altogether as the Bc prepares for commercial funding so it can survive as an advertising funded channel. the end of public service broadcasting will see and end to the BBC as we know it. I've got to go and collect my next fare for Heathrow now,,,whilst RDF continue to cheat and connive programmes that purport to be factual.

3357 Georgia Wallace-CrabbeProducer Film ProjectsStoryville is an essential strand for Documentaries internationally and a flagship for those of us in Australia without such a strand and brief.
3358 Daniel FallshawDirectorStoryville is a jewel in the crown for documentary film makers. It would be a shame to see it be reduced to a shell of itself. I'm Australian and we lack anything like Storyville.

3367 Thomas FrantzénProducerAt this time in history I believe it is very important to develop possibilities, with as few ties attached as possible, to tell creative stories reflecting the development of our planet. I think it is crucial to air as many different views as possible.

3379 AnonymousAnonymousas a thinking citizen en critical tv viewer, the loss of Storyville in it's present form would be a great loss - the parts being more than the sum. Television programs, whether in the UK, the US or the Netherlands, are versions of the same format. There is nothing left to experience or to surprise the viewer. We need original and thought provoking programs on the TV. Please rething any decision to cut funds for Storyville.

3381 Larry Y. HiggsPresident - TPISomethings are more important than ratings and share points. Documentaries incite the consciousness of it's viewers and provide the moral compass for a nation. Storyville must survive.

3386 AnonymousAnonymousCut the llight entertainment budget, not the fllagship documentary strand Storyville - license fee money should be used for this and other factual programming. The world needs Storyville to encourage intelligent debate - we need thinking, observing, provoking, celebrating, and creative solutions for our lives, Let Storyville continue to do this. Give it more money, not less.

3393 Stu BurnsHumanFor the documentary about Arthur Kane and the NY Dolls alone, Storyville's freedom to make single documentaries, and to collaborate onn co-productions must be defended. The "New York Doll" documentary was/is one of the most compelling pieces of TV I've ever seen - it really should have gone on cinema release.

3398 Doug ZWickPres., Pop Twist EntThe US has seen public television abdicate its role in ambitious programming on the theory that cable would take up the slack. The result is mediocre public television and predominantly sensationalist cable reality docs. Purely advert-driven programming will never produce the best results for the public. Please don't make the same mistake at the BBC.
