Chaps,

Channel 4, heads up starts at 8pm tonight.

Jane Moore highlights the findings of a report due out in early March about how the Government wastes Billions of pounds of taxpayers' money each year.

Should be interesting!

Noooooo

This damned digital switch over lark is causing havoc with my Channel 5 reception! There are only two programmes that I watch - Fifth Gear and Gadget Show. Damn blast and poo. Looks like I am going to have to get angry at the Telly and watch this Dispatches programme then!

Forgive me, for i have sinned. I have read Jane Moore's column in The Sun on the odd occassion and have hated her.

She will be absolutely PERFECT for this programme though.

If they follow this up with MEPs and EU Commissioners and the rest of the gravy train, I will probably go out and kill something...

Yep. I don't find them that comfy either. All the other chairs in the office go before them.
