The mission of the BBC is to educate, inform and entertain
The BBC has no means of dealing with ideas from viewers and listeners
Despite an income of over £3.5 billion
When someone asked the BBC who can be contacted to present a suggestion, the following reply was received:
"I'd like to clarify the BBC is more than happy to receive feedback on its output where the public feel we could do better but we aren't in a position to entertain programme ideas from the public as we do not have the resources to review ideas and enter discussion about them.
If you're offering feedback then by all means you can write to us at our postal address or use our complaints or comment webform to submit your feedback and it will be included on our overnight report for the relevant personnel. We do not use email addresses, this is to ensure all contacts from our audience are logged and tracked centrally, this has helped us to reduce the amount of spam we receive and improved our reporting of audience reaction to BBC personnel, including programme makers and senior staff."

The above is confirmed on the BBC website
BBC Content (television) does not accept programme ideas from individuals unattached to a production company, although scripts for fiction can be submitted via the BBC Writersroom.
This is because programme development requires an in-depth understanding of the television process and can take a long time to realise, usually involving many people. Unfortunately the BBC doesn’t have the resources to support individuals in this process.
Editorial Note:
"Doesn't have the resources" this is surprising when you look at the income - just look at the following:
The BBC's income in the United Kingdom (UK) from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the BBC had a licence fee income totaling about 3.83 billion British pounds.
In the United Kingdom, households consuming live television via any technology must hold a television licence. The bulk of the BBC's income is generated from this.
From April this year (2019) the licence costs £154.50 per annum. From June 2020 British citizens over 75 years of age will no longer be entitled to a free licence and will be expected to pay the full fee.
Additional income comes from selling programmes to outside sources.
Our website looks at how ideas can be considered for viewing by the general public.
