I don't at all mind paying £5 for an evening's entertainment. Nothing
else in the city will be as good value for money!

It makes sense that if they do have to hire venues they may need to
impose a charge in order to offset the extra costs

Just one thought though: Is there a particular reason they don't use
the Manchester BBC studios on Oxford Rd? Perhaps they're not suitable
(I don't know, I've never been), but maybe this will change with the
new MediaCity in Salford. If they come back again that is!
