    Mind you, if I was in charge I'd definitely target women, those who watch Coronation Street, Strictly come Dancing, Antiques Road Show etc. deserve to be targeted. One should not need a licence to watch zombie films and South Park.

    I suspect when they start prosecuting people using Iplayer without a license it is likely that more males will be caught.
