It's interesting to note that beeb2 and c4 have remained fairly stable,
whilst five has increased. Then when you look at beeb1 and itv1, the figures
plummet along with the quality of the programs they're airing. Just goes to
prove that beeb1 and itv1 are doing something wrong

Yes, it's called "broadcasting"

BTW, in the non-terrestrial figures, Sky One comprises about 1/5th of
the total share.

those relevant channels don't take note of what the public have been
saying
for months now.

Going off a US Sitcoms fan website???

Tell that to the thousands who are niether interested or want American
programmes as they like in BRITAIN and want to see BRITISH programming.

Surely it's the info that matters, rather that what the site is mainly
about? Besides, it's the off-season for US shows.

That's OK - it's not like I'm forcing them to visit.

If they want to watch crap and ignore the best stuff on TV then so be it.
I'll be laughing at them.

10-15 years back, British comedies *were* great (for example, Yes
Minister), but they've become increasingly crude & less sophisticated,
and I prefer my comedies to have some 'feel-good' factor.

Is it possible to record the portion of a programme that has been 'recorded'
with the function that allows replays?


Thanks
