As the 2020s get underway, the BBC might seem as powerful as ever; but, PM Boris Johnson's government is boycotting key current affairs programmes and threatens to decriminalise the licence fee for non-payment.

This week's panel debates BBC ethos, ideology and funding models and discusses whether the BBC is a national treasure that must be preserved or a wholly biased institution ripe for reform or even abolition.

HOST: Marc Sidwell, Journalist and Author

THE PANEL:

* DAVID COX: TV producer & former head of current affairs for LWT (London Weekend Television)

* JAMES DELINGPOLE: Writer, Journalist and Columnist

* RAFE HEYDEL-MANKOO: Historian, Writer and Broadcaster

* SOPHIE SANDOR: Writer and Documentary Maker
