You've been complaining all this time about homosexuality, and too
much kissing, bestiality, and other bits of immorality, and now it's
the dog that's making BBC3 totally unwatchable?

Ironic he was watching Torchwood which is little more than Russell T
Davies poofter fantasy brought to the screen. If theres an episode
where 2 men don't kiss I've yet to see it.
B200

Episode 3, series 1

It's folklaw amongst Torchwoodies

LOL! They'll have a RIGHT LAUGH at you when they get that letter.
It'll go straight in the BBC Nutter File where it belongs.
You have a great talent for making yourself look stupid, and, even
better, you alert others to how stupid you are! Hilarious. Thanks for
the entertainment.
Do you work for the BBC or something? Maybe you're a marketing idiot
for BBC3? I can't see any other reason for being such an apologist for
something that people clearly hate.

You don't have to work at the BBC or like the DOG to realise that Aggie makes
himself look stupid.

Or you could just wait until Wednesday next and watch it on the dogless
BBC2.

Programmes on BBC2 have banner adverts for following programmes.

But don't BBC3 programmes have that banner as well? The only way to get the
dogless, bannerles, trailerless versions is to buy the DVDs and, while
series 2 TW is a lot better than series 1, it's still not worth cash on the
HMV counter. I'll put up with the banner but not the dayglo pink
highlighter scribble in the corner. If it was translucent grey (like it was
before, and like most of these damn ident graphics are) I wouldn't mind.
But I think it is intrusive and distracting, especially given the darkness
of a lot of Torchwood. (I wouldn't make the same argument if the dayglo
pink scribble was in the corner of The Pretty Colours And Flashing Lights
Show.)

It's still not worth a stamp to the BBC Customer Feedback Shredding Centre.
The show's on next week in a slightly more visually pleasing form. I can
wait. I'm not exactly foaming at the mouth to see Martha Bloody Jones
again.

The only way I could watch Torchwood without being distracted or half
blinded during parts of the episode when it was dark which was 95% of the
time, was to cover up the DOG with silver foil and even then the DOG was so
bright that it shone past the edges of the foil to a radius of one
centimetre in all directions, causing even more damage to the phosphor on my
TV.

I if worked at the BBC this would be posted on the nearest message board for
the amusement of my coworkers

You should be using the tin-foil for your hat, Aggie.

From the BBC:

"Dear Mr Agamemnon,

Thank you for your letter. We at Broadcasting House had a good, long
laugh while picturing you carefully measuring the light penetration to
the sides of the tinfoil you placed over the BBC DOG. We look forward
to being similarly entertained by your efforts to take legal action
based on a wholly imaginary risk of damage to your screen.

As regards your complaint, you will be pleased to know that we are
already in the process of redesigning our DOG for BBC3, as our
marketing people are concerned that the current logo is neither large,
flourescent nor obtrusive enough to enable viewers to identify which
channel owns the rights to the episodes being screened. While we take
the point that some viewers may feel it's insulting to their
intelligence, our market research has demonstrated that, sadly, a
number of our viewers are sufficiently intellectually challenged to
warrant this consideration. For example, we know from canvassing
internet forums of at least one viewer sufficiently mentally
challenged that they believe the creator of Torchwood is called
"Gayvies" and who had difficulty grasping the plot of the Doctor Who
Christmas special "Voyage of the Damned". For viewers who find the
logo especially intrusive, rest assured that all quality programming
on BBC3 will turn up on BBC2 within one or two weeks; the rest will
air on BBC1.

We will also be replacing the "New" part of the DOG as seen in last
night's episode of "Torchwood" with the more emphatic "Brand New", on
the basis that most viewers of this series find it so unmemorable they
won't remember whether they have seen the episode before or not."

Perhaps by the time you finish school your teachers will have explained to
you how a TV works and you will be able to understand how it damages your
TV.

On the other hand perhaps you could perform a simple experiment. On a clear
day stare directly at the sun and then look away and tell us if you can see
anything in the middle of you field of view apart from a dark shadow. This
is exactly what happens when a DOG is displayed on you TV. The area where
the DOG is placed will be burned by the electrons just like your retina is
burned by the photons from the sun and will not function properly. If you
continue staring at the sun for longer than a split second you will be
blinded so just imagine what is happening to your TV in the area the DOG
appears all the time the TV is switched on. And just like the sun will burn
your retina so will a DOG which appears in exactly the same place on your TV
screen all the time.

Poor old Aggy. As always, only able to grasp part of the reality. If an
unmoving image is displayed on a CRT for over an hour, yes, there is the
possibility that the image will be burnt into the phosphor.

This is not true of DOGs. Either on LCD screens (because LCDs don't have
phosphor) or on CRT screens (because the DOGs are like watermarks and are
transparent). And even if you have an old CRT style TV tuned into a channel
that used a non-transparent DOG, it would have to be displaying such a
station for several hours continuously.

So. Is your TV of the CRT or LCD type? Do you leave your TV tuned into a
station that uses solid DOGs for hours at a time?

WRONG!

A DOG constantly displayed on a LCD screen WILL eventually damage the
transistors, capacitors and dyes which make the screen work which is why LCD
manufactures tell you not to leave a static image on the screen such as at
railways stations or airports for long periods of times such as more than 2
hours without alternating the colours so that the average is white.

A DOG on a CRT is NOT transparent. It does NOT let electrons or light
through it. Remember you are the idiot who thought that having a Digital
tuner inside a TV meant it was capable of picking up everything on Freeview,
Satellite and Cable. LOL....

And even if you have an old CRT style TV tuned into a channel that used a
non-transparent DOG, it would have to be displaying such a station for
several hours continuously.

Like when you are watching Torchwood followed by the programmes after it or
a long film.

Both. Fortunately with my LCD monitor I can set DScaler to remove the DOG
from any station it is showing. It's about time that the major TV
manufacturers included DOG removers built into their Palma and LCD screens.

station that uses solid DOGs for hours at a time?

Not if I can avoid it. That is why I am not going to watch BBC3 unless the
DOG is removed.

No. That was your interpretation. Not mine. I can't help the fact that you

I DEMAND that the DOG is removed from all BBC3 programmes immediately
otherwise I will not watch BBC3 ever again, just like have never watched
FiveLife or FiveUS since they started because the gigantic DOGs are so
offensive.

You and your demands! No kissing. No reference to homosexuality. No ugly
women on TV. No DOGs (presumably a cat would be OK though).

Do you think anyone would care if you never watched BBC3 again? As you
seem to suffer from terminal stupidity, I'll provide you with the answer:
No.

It is really annoying - even the wife was moaning about the bloody thing in
the corner of the screen.
