It does make lots of things happen. TV, Radio, internet, innforming, educating and entertaining the nation.
What percentage of the production costs, including the profit margin of the production company (is it produced by an outside production company?) of e.g. Holby City, which is on tonight, was payed for by the license fee? I would guess, not being a tv person, that it would be all of it. Am I way off?
Yes. BBC Worldwide money will also help pay for it - some productions get extra money from BBC Worldwide too as a sort of advance to make a good show they can flog on DVD.
