Put it on an entertainment channel and be honest about what it is.
I also have issues with the licence fee and the BBC in general.

Sky put it on Sports channels.
In the US it is NOT on sports channels - SyFy and USA Network show them.

You said it was fixed - that implies it pretends to be real.
If you watch it you will see it makes it clear it is a show.
Sky confuse things by putting it on Sky Sports - which I expect it does as it can charge a premium for it.
