Reasons I Like the BBC
One of their longest-running and most successful TV programs is about a kindly old man who travels through time in a phone booth.
The BBC gave the Goons, Monty Python and Douglas Adams money before they had careers and didn't care what they did with it.
Two words: Radiophonic Workshop.
And finally, they credit the writer. It's [episode name], BY WRITER GUY. None of this bury the credit next to grip #5 crap.
On the other hand, they show things like this.

That kindly old man isn't that old! And sometimes, he's kind of mean!
But yes, it's true.
