  I don't see the point of showing the Golden Compass it was part one of a serial that never got compleated it does not realy stand up on it's own.

  If it gets ratings, they'll show it.
  
  It'll just be a shame if BBC chicken out showing new films in their proper ratio, if made in 2.35:1, as they've started to learn recently, but sometimes still throw in the towel.
  
  ITV and Five seem to have just given up.

  Bridge on the River Kwai was on Channel 4 yesterday afternoon, I was quite surprised they were showing such a big film in that time slot although at nearly three hours it's obviously difficult to accommodate.Perhaps their licence is about to run out - African Queen next Friday and they had Butch Cassidy in that slot a couple of weeks ago.

  Out of a selection of selected films, no doubt. As such, you won't be able to vote for Reservoir Dogs, 3pm Xmas Day.

  I think the BBC may surprise some with 2.35:1 presentations, quite a lot of those films are 2.35:1 and it is their premiere showing so they should have the rights to the proper ratio of them, on BBC ONE HD they certainly will be in 2.35:1 but I'm not sure about normal BBC ONE. If they crop them there will be complaints as to why they are ruining a HD picture by removing part of it, not somehting they'll want to attract complaints for considering the trouble the BBC HD channel caused.

  As much as I'd like to see mainstream complaints, they probably won't get them. While we've seen 2.35:1 films during afternoons (both BBC1 & 2) and late evening on BBC1, and also after 9pm on BBC2 , I don't think we've had any early evening on BBC1 as they rarely broadcast films then. If whatever's on Xmas Day after Kate Middleton's grandma-in-law-to-be has said her piece, is a 2.35:1 film, if it gets broadcast that way on regular BBC1 then I'll bare my backside in Curry's window.
