First time I've watched Saturday night TV in about 3 years.
1st dissapointment: NO FILMS??? (not even some old action film with Arnie, Segal or the like???)
2nd dissapointment: WTF has happened to Blind date
Haven't watched it since I was about 14(never a fan, but what a bunch of FREAKS!!!)???
The bloke looks like Zippy out of Rainbow, The blonde is plain stupid sounding. The other is probably a Dike, and the third one seems to think she's Lara Croft even though she's a minger???

Note to self:
Must get TV repair man in to fix poor recieption distorting the quality of Saturday night TV.

Might need a large quantity of alchohol, or a visit to Blockbusters.


Dog soldiers or the Scorpion king might be on the cards!

100% agreed!

But last saturday, we had Sky Digital put in. The bloke made a real up of it but a few minutes with a wire cutter and a screwdriver and I can forgive him for that!

Tuesday night, get home from work and plonk myself in front of the tv to have a good mooch through (I was in MK til monday night).

Conclusion - There are around 900 channels listed (including the Audio channels (WTF is the point in 'Watching' the radio?!)) and there is F*ck all on 90% of the time. The occasional half decent film that starts and finishes at a resaonable hour, some not bad motoring programs on Home and Leisure, deals on wheels the other night reviewed (badly) the 3000M.
E4 has most of the good stuff, The Sopranos and friends, Sky One, the Simpsons, and the Sports Channels. Although SS1 only ever has football or the like, SS2 sometimes has motor racing, ALMS the other night, SS3 the same and Eurosport. I would be quite happy with 12 channels!

Terry Wogan.

Edited to add: At least there's the occasional decent film on the Sky channels. And Motors is quite good sometimes. But other than that I'd agree with you...
