"How do you get proof of £10,000 income in a way that is cost effective? Do you send a bill to every home and ask everyone over 75 to show how much income they have?"

Well the tax office/DWP will know what these people are earning, so it shouldn't be that expensive. It should be per household not per person, so couples would not qualify. On one hand you could give couples a discount, on the other hand 2 people on £12,000 could manage £150 a year. There are a lot of over 75s that have an income over £12,000 a year.

" What of the commitment to "protect pensioner benefits including TV licences"?

The same way the government is removing the protection for children in poverty! just change the way they class "protect"

How would you cut

How much would be saved by moving bbc4 programs to 1 and 2? most of them are repeats and the rest could be fitted into 1 and 2 sheduals.

Local TV
Parliament
Welsh, Scottish, Irish radio
Why is the BBC paying for Broad band roll out?
Asian network

Cut the amount the presenters get paid.

How long until they stop putting scart sockets on HD boxes so they can save a few pennies and make you "upgrade" your TV?

I would like to be able to get 3g in places let alone 4g, even 2 g would be nice in some places. I would hope the mobile company's improve there existing coverage before they start thinking about more 4g and 5g

But why should I have to buy a T2 set top box for my perfectly good TV, and suffer another remote control and the extra running cost just so the mobile companies can have more? Its not just 1 TV though, there are 4 in our house and 1 in the caravan. Many people will be in the same situation and a good many will just dump what they have now, when I see the amount of electrical goods that are in the local tip it makes me sick, we have learnt nothing.
