26:37 I'm a bit confused here, where Peter appears to be defending the BBC licence fee on the grounds that, sometimes, they make some unbiased content. It's confusing because, one, Peter was advocating boycott of the BBC and licence fee only weeks ago, and two, even if the BBC do occasionally produce some unbiased content, the producers should be able to find another outlet if it is high enough quality. I don't see any reason to release pressure on the BBC. If they were market funded they could be as biased as they like because people would not be forced to pay for them. But, as it is, there is the threat of criminal conviction forcing people to pay for content they disagree with because it undermines our hard fought society. It's plain propaganda.
