Yup, it's a 'hard hitting, contemporary drama' apparently.
Or alternatively, a load of old cobblers pandering to
ignorant prejudice about what working in the new economy
was like.
I'm sure I saw Nathan Barley in an episode.

Not taxes - license fees. You only pay if you have
a TV and it's not collected or used by the government.
The only bit of the BBC (part) paid for by taxation is
the World Service.
