Ex-BBC producer John Mair Shortly before Christmas, I came across my 30-year-old son Josh engrossed in a boxing match on TV. It was a mighty contest with British boxer Anthony Joshua taking on Kubrat Pulev. Available via one of the big streaming platforms, Josh had paid £25 to watch. No small sum, but an amount he was more than happy to fork out for every enthralling minute. I was reminded of Josh and his choice of pay-per-view when I read in the Mail on Tuesday that the BBC licence fee is set to increase again by £1.50 to £159 from April 1. Yes, the increase is in line with inflation but the timing could not be worse.
