Under 30 hours left, we are now at 5,000 submissions to Government to #BacktheBBC

Hello all, There are just 30 hours left now for people to have their say and most still probably don't know about the Government's consultation on the future of the BBC. Deadline is Thursday 11:45pm for responses. Please help us get #BacktheBBC trending on Facebook and Twitter to spread the word. Please give these links to tweets below a retweet , including 2 especially for my current favourite shows - tonight's finales of Great British Bake Off and Doctor Foster: GBBO: https://twitter.com/back_the_BBC/status/651813144508133376 Doctor Foster: https://twitter.com/back_the_BBC/status/651819400581021696 Doctor Who: https://twitter.com/back_the_BBC/status/651816882291535872 Poldark: https://twitter.com/back_the_BBC/status/651815645152157696 Classic Doctor Who: https://twitter.com/back_the_BBC/status/651809432947568640 Strictly: https://twitter.com/back_the_BBC/status/651807710934102017 You may have already seen this Tweet, its been retweeted by Sue Perkins, and further retweeted 200 times in the past hour: https://twitter.com/LoveYourBBC/status/651790330682036226 On Facebook, it would help if you could like and share these posts to spread the word: Great British Bake Off: https://www.facebook.com/BacktheBBC/photos/a.871202766289194.1073741828.871105386298932/909976309078506 Poldark: https://www.facebook.com/BacktheBBC/photos/a.871202766289194.1073741828.871105386298932/909975582411912 Doctor Who: https://www.facebook.com/BacktheBBC/photos/a.871202766289194.1073741828.871105386298932/909975152411955 Strictly: https://www.facebook.com/BacktheBBC/photos/a.871202766289194.1073741828.871105386298932/909968812412589 Sherlock: https://www.facebook.com/BacktheBBC/photos/a.871202766289194.1073741828.871105386298932/909956602413810 Dad's Army https://www.facebook.com/BacktheBBC/photos/a.871202766289194.1073741828.871105386298932/909867979089339 Remember, the Government has confirmed in writing to us that each signature to our petition counts as a valid public consultation response because our petition is correctly worded and addresses the Department of Culture, not David Cameron, unlike some other BBC petitions. Every single signature to our petition we get comes from your Social Media shares. 1000 new supporters in the past day came via Twitter or Facebook. Finally, I attach a link below to a moving article about the role that the BBC plays in the lives of the elderly. Most of them don't get a say in this consultation as people can only respond online. They've never heard of Netflix or Amazon Prime, let alone used it. http://www.loveyourbbc.com/?p=70 Follow us: https://www.facebook.com/BacktheBBC and Twitter: https://twitter.com/back_the_BBC thanks, Paul
