In Praise of BBC Four ? TV From When it Was Good Wed Nov 26, 2025 19:03 | Ben Finlay
The BBC may be engulfed in a bias scandal, but at least we have BBC Four, says Ben Finlay. It's a window to the old world when TV was worth watching: a quiet treasure trove of glories, even if they are just former ones.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Sure there's now TETRA masts in every town and village on the Eastern region, normally on top of the local Garda stations. Its necessary for the new encrypted radio system we're told, but no one has actually examined the health risks posed by the always-on system.
Even the Police in the UK who use it have now got concerns and have been issued with instructions to keep their radio aerials pointing away from their bodies for long periods due to risk of radiation, and there's currently several officers taking court cases over contracting strange cancers.
They function the same as mobile masts, except that unlike mobiles which are only engaged when a call passes through the mast, TETRA is a two way radio system which is therefore always on and constantly emitting the same rate of radiation.
The new Wimax masts will bring fast broadband to the remotest regions of Ireland.
There is not the slightest evidence that they harm anybody.
Once upon a time some people believed that electricity and telephone wires would fry everybody.
Previous to that people resisted gas pipes coming into their homes.
All scarey new fangled stuff.
After a while (the next generation) the right to have have access to such technology became a "Human Right" no less.

(Not that the Dubliner Romney Robinson was afraid of innovation.
He invented the "Cup Anemometer" which is used to measure wind speed to this very day.)
