This tells me that your best option may be #2. Is there any restriction on you working on the side to make some extra dough and keep your skills up?

It could be that in 2 years you decide that the BBC you want to work for doesn't exist anymore, but sticking around would let you watch and wait.

Don't get me started on an outsourcing rant. That really sucks.

Anyhow, if the Beeb is where you want to be (and I can really appreciate that) I'd look for ways to make that work. Maybe they'll come to their senses.

Ummm, can you get them to turn the shortwave back on?
