Over Christmas I noticed that OFAH seemed to be the only show Gold put on air, and while it's sometimes nice to watch this classic, I really do think they over did it, especially since they show it continually through the year anyway. It would have been nice to see more of a selection of Christmas Shows from the past. I also found that some of the OFAH episodes now look decidedly dated, especially 'Jolly Boys outing' it is a show that captured the mood of the era (80s/90s) and the social aspirations etc but I hope it NEVER comes back it is not 1989 anymore.

Easier to just repeat one show over and over.
The reason why GOLD doesn't have a more diverse schedule is whenever they try it the viewing figures go down. And so we end up with the same few favourites in rotation all the while.
Blame the viewers, not the broadcaster.
If you don't like it, don't watch it. The viewing figures for Gold show people still like watching it.
Some people dont get a choice in the matter. Why cant one of the actors get done for a sex crime so its banned from tv.
There's programmes that I don't like, but don't want them banned. If you don't like OFAH, don't watch it. Plenty of people do.
What a stupid thing to say. If only you had the ability to change the channel..........oh wait.
Pointless as you still had to ring them to cancel your contract.
Totally agree. OFAH was a funny programme but it has been on so many times now, it has lost its magic. I reckon that it has been on GOLD everyday for about the past 8 years.
Infuriating that they keep showing OFAH as there are so many other comedies they could show.
Come on viewers stop watching and maybe they will show something else
A vile FM.
They openly admit they have to achieve that figure to make the advertising revenue and no doubt GOLD is the same, if people watched the other shows they try there would be variety but they want, Challenge gave Countdown a 7pm slot and some episodes failed to make 10,000 viewers so now Challenge just put on the same shows every evening and it's annoying as Challenge and GOLD could be so much better if people tuned in.
They'd definitely done 'something' as the end credits were different. I think they may have done something to make it better for watching in wide screen (maybe more 'close up' if that makes sense) I know the dialogue so well I noticed things in the background (behind the actors) I hadn't noticed before, so some sort of 'cleaning up and updating' must have taken place.
Not really. Dont have to watch it over xmas. Pity you cant choose the channels you want.
Your wish that a cast member be accused of a sex crime was pretty disgusting and sums up your posts to a tee.
Gold show other programmes on a loop like Porridge, Last Of The Summer Wine, Blackadder, Vicar Of Dibley, but you don't whinge about them, yet as soon as OFAH is on you crawl out of the woodwork whinging, there are plenty other channels to watch.
Yes and what a suprise bloody on again tonight and tomorrow as well. Christ cant gold just give it a break FFS.
If you was forced to watch it you d bloody complain too.
What a stupid thing to say!
Why? If you hated a certain actor who who was naughty naughty and they were the star you would never get their programme ever on tv again.
