Nothing is covered adequately by the BBC. The BBC has become the biggest disappointment - they're just so terrified. And in a way it's not their fault: the parties have used them as a political football.

Irvine Welsh

Once, BBC television had echoed BBC radio in being a haven for standard English pronunciation. Then regional accents came in: a democratic plus. Then slipshod usage came in: an egalitarian minus. By now slovenly grammar is even more rife on the BBC channels than on ITV. In this regard a decline can be clearly charted... If the BBC, once the guardian of the English language, has now become its most implacable enemy, let us at least be grateful when the massacre is carried out with style.

Clive James

I love the BBC. I love working with the BBC. They leave you alone; they give you zero notes. It's like being on vacation.

Steven Knight

Professionally, I was at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and did lots of things there, and then I won the BBC Carlton Hobbs Award, so I did some BBC Radio drama work, which is a lovely way to start out because you work with lots of great people, and you're working all the time, so you're learning rather than sitting around and waitressing.

Lydia Leonard

Presenting football is something that I love to do. I'm very fortunate being able to do one of the BBC's flagship shows.

Gary Lineker

If we lose the BBC it would be a disaster for the entire country. I genuinely believe that.

Chris Chibnall

I am sorry to be leaving the BBC. I have enjoyed a fascinating seven years at the corporation and am particularly proud to have played a small part in the development of the BBC's Global News services, BBC World Service and BBC World.

Pauline Neville-Jones

I play because I love the game. I love the process, I love the work, I love playing football.

Mohamed Sanu

When I was a kid, I used to love playing football so much that I genuinely wouldn't be able to fall asleep at night.

Paulinho

The problem is you have people who are keenly aware of what their time span is. Governments work towards the next election; BBC governors work for their time there. You have extraordinary regimes that run at the BBC and different people have different outlooks.

Alexander Armstrong

I love Britain. I'd like to work there. Maybe a BBC crime show; I love those. A thriller would be something different.

Jayma Mays

I genuinely love Oasis, and I also genuinely love Beyonce. My body gets the same pleasure. If you like different types of music, it's OK to say it.

Chris Martin

All I can do is advocate changes at the BBC while respecting editorial independence upon which the success of the BBC rests. I can't do anything that requires the BBC to pay certain people certain amounts.

Jeremy Hunt

I don't judge my self-worth as a football player. Football is something I love. It's a fun career deal, but it's not what I want to do with my life, because I see football as a game.

Tim Tebow

There was a period in the Nineties when the BBC wanted to act as if it was a trendy Soho independent. They broke up all sorts of things and got people to work as freelancers who had previously been BBC employees. It corroded a sort of esprit de corps, I think.

Alexander Armstrong

People know more about my views than they do about most BBC presenters because I had a life before becoming a BBC presenter.
