but maybe not renewed although I would doubt that - cost of replacing it would be too high. Needs a good clean up job and some type of chaperones for youngsters.

The BBC operates under a Royal Charter,[7] with the current Charter having come into effect on 1 January 2007 and running until 31 December 2016.[35] The Royal Charter is reviewed every 10 years.

The 2007 Charter specifies that the mission of the Corporation is to "inform, educate and entertain". It states that the Corporation exists to serve the public interest and to promote its public purposes: sustaining citizenship and civil society, promoting education and learning, stimulating creativity and cultural excellence, representing the UK, its nations, regions and communities, bringing the UK to the world and the world to the UK, helping to deliver to the public the benefit of emerging communications technologies and services, and taking a leading role in the switchover to digital television.

This Charter also created the largest change in the governance of the Corporation since its inception. It abolished the sometimes controversial governing body, the Board of Governors, and replaced it with the BBC Trust and a formalised Executive Board.

Under the Royal Charter, the BBC must obtain a licence from the Home Secretary.[8] This licence is accompanied by an agreement which sets the terms and conditions under which BBC is allowed to broadcast.[8] It was under this Licence and Agreement (and the Broadcasting Act 1981) that the Sinn Féin broadcast ban from 1988 to 1994 was implemented.[36][37]
