^^The BBC cannot use licence fee money directly to fund it's commercial arm, but it can commit commercial activities through its four subsidares, so the BBC uses the TV licence fee to make the programmes, then via one of their four commercial arm's, say the most well known one, BBC worldwide, it sells said programms and any aspects of its BBC copyright and IP, so DVD, boxsets, merch and the likes, and from those sales it generates revenue, which it is then allowed to reinvest into the BBC and programming and can be used to suppliment the income from the licence fee, but here is the weird part, Who might bring in all lot of money, but the BBC do not have to fund any Who from said reinvested money, which for me is just strange because why would you not want to fund one of the shows that is helping to bring more cash into the BBC, i mean i dare say a lot of the money generated from the Who licence alone must go a good way to the show actually paying for itself so some extent.
). So yeah, I'm also reminded of that kind of situation.
