BBC is propaganda arm of British Government. Kind of like PBS.

Not so. The government has no control whatsoever over BBC programming. Every government since the BBC began in the 1920s has sooner or later become paranoid about the BBC’s coverage of itself, but has been unable to do anything about it. The only time when a government can influence the BBC is once every decade or so when the legislation renewing the BBC’s Royal Charter (which guarantees the BBC’s constitutional independence) comes before Parliament. The next renewal is due later this year.
