"This Is The BBC" is an album by Robyn Hitchcock, released on the Hux Records label in April 2006.

It rounds up fourteen tracks recorded for radio, primarily with Andy Kershaw between 1995 and 1999. It can therefore be viewed as a sequel piece to "The Kershaw Sessions".

The tracks cover Hitchock's contemporary material at the time of recording, and include a version of the evocative "I Saw Nick Drake" with lyrical amendments. It also includes a cover of Bob Dylan's "It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry".

The packaging features Hitchcock's artwork and significantly utilises a painting by his father Raymond as a cover, which dates to 1954. (Raymond Hitchcock is also pictured in the booklet.)
