Oh ROFL, that's like some spoof

Action-packed. They dumped the series after eight weeks, and played the final four editions on BBC2, against EastEnders.

Completely agree. I for about 4 years have been moaning about Saturday night TV, and TMO is the only thing I would actually miss a night out to watch it... when I go out, I would never forget to record it.

Pmsl @ Bin Day!!

Does anyone know what Frakenstein's Wedding got on BBC3 last night?

Talking of regional variations, I noticed in my TV guide that Antiques Roadshow in NI today aired at 5.30pm on BBC2 so that BBC1 NI can show a History of Ireland at 8pm - no doubt that will irritate a number of AR regulars in the province who tuned in at 8pm to watch it. If they had to shift it, why not keep it on the same channel and air at 6pm, or move CF an hour sooner and air AR at 7pm?

Also in NI, they move tomorrow's Waking the Dead pt 2 to 10.35pm for some more regional output at 9pm; this also means hit Irish sitcom Mrs Brown airs at 11.35pm!

I assume Mrs Brown hasn't already aired in the province in another slot? Or do they just assume everyone in NI watched it already on RTE?


Brilliant. Of course, that's what all telly promos were like in that era - although the programmes were usually more interesting than that!

Is that a bit of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here? playing towards the end of the trail? If so, they must have been delighted to know their classic track was used to promote a regional documentary about Swansea bin men!

In Wales, we got one episode of Mrs Brown's Boys at 11.55pm t'other week. This kind of thing can't be doing the ratings any good.

A little something from your neck of the woods:

http://www2.tv-ark.org.uk/bbc_northwest/idents.html

BBC1 North West Closedown 9 May 1980 has to be seen to be believed. The whole eight minutes of it. Watch it right to the end.

Ah, John Mundy - a young John Mundy too!

Perhaps the Beeb will return to this sort of thing with all the budget cutbacks?

Nice Lakeland slides anyway...

I hope The only way is Essex does well tonight.
It has received alot of publicity and it does have alot of fans.

I hope it flops, so hard that ITV is force to withdraw it from the scheule, and buries it so far underground, that it is never heard from again.

It is total rubbish so deserving of ITV2.

I wonder if the BBC are Planning a Big Easter This year?

With a double Dr who and then a huge episode of EastEnders (which features The Baby swap reveal,A wedding and one of soaps biggest ever stunts The Lorry/Car crash)

Could the BBC be planning on a 2 hour of Drama on Easter sunday or Good Friday?

in that case can we also bury ITV 2 so far underground it will never trouble us again?

Rock and Chips is meant to be an Easter special.

Maybe The BBC are planning a BlockBuster then?

Good Friday /or Easter Sunday.

Dr who 7:00pm-8:00pm
EastEnders 8:00pm-9:00pm
Rock and Chips 9:00pm-10:00pm

I know ITV are planning to air a special Hour of Corrie on the sunday so does that mean they will drop Fridays 8:30pm episode ?

ho ho, who would really miss it? It's a shame as ITV had a really good opportunity to create a decent digital channel, but decided to fill it with the kind of junk only someone who thinks Jordan is a great person could watch. Also do they really need to repeat the soaps so much and keep the same clapped out Judge Judy episodes on a loop?
However, ITV3 is quite good and ITV1 can still hit back with the odd decent drama and entertainment show.

we might, we wouldnt have it to complain about anymore.

I doubt Essex will flop, it got good ratings in its 1st series, generally 700-850,000 viewers...and it will probably get a high because it's getting so much promotion.

I reckon around 900,000.

There has been loads of promotion including a women from the show cooking on this morning

oh no, don't mention This Morning in the same discussion as Only Way is Essex

Doubt it. It's more likely that they'll be extra episodes.

Does it trouble you anyway? I doubt it's in your viewing habits

They are Both on ITV though


I don't Like Only way is Essex and not keen on This Morning but that was the channel i flicked on too

ITV2 is now officially the sh1tt1est channel on television, designed for people who are so moronic they make Katie Price and Jedward look like members of the Eggheads team.

ITV3 is the posh member of the ITV family. It is the home of the very best of ITV (mostly - they might like to swap Terry and June and On The Buses for Harry Hill's TV Burp.). I find it heartening that ITV3 is now ahead of ITV2 in audience share (although ITV2 get their nose ahead when they've got an ITV1 reality show spin-off show to, er, show.)

true I dont watch it, but appears on my Dgiguide, its appears in newspapers, it appears on this very website. of it was limited to ITV 2 only, then it wouldnt be a problem.

TBH I dont know why I even bother to have ITV 2 on my Digiguide, I know why I used to, but not why I do now.
