TV licence? 

I thought they disappeared in the 1970s along with the Cat Detector Van from the Ministry of Housinge  (it was spelled like that on the van.)

We don't have TV licences in Oz... but I do have a licence for my pet fish, Eric.

Is it free to get into the shows still?
Also, I've never figured out, does any one know this ....
How come the buzzers sound quite different from show to show?
Surely some sound engineer doesn't rig them up from scratch for each recording? One of the ways I like to listen to JAM is while I fall asleep. There's one set of 'buzzers' that sound exactly like my doorbell and when one of those shows comes around it always wakes me up with a jerk <grumble>.

It seems to me there are some easy ways to cut costs with JAM (and the BBC generally) and its a shame if they are being restricted through cost measures ... I just got my latest TV license bill - 145.50 GB pounds ($221 US) ... its staggering really, my TV didn't cost that much!
