  2. I was 4 when it was launched.

    Didn't make any difference to me. Our set couldn't even get ITV at the time.

  3. I can remember the excitement at getting a colour telly for the first time. The old man bought it for the Rumble in the Jungle. Caused no end of rows between him and mum cos he'd spent the best part of a months wages on it. I didn't care, I got to stay up late and watch one the most memorable fights ever:upyeah:

  12. Indeed, but different folk have their own varied ideas about what the dross is. I, my wife, my kids, and my 90 year old auntie all have totally different notions what constitute the gems and the dross. Broadcasters try to address a wide range of demographics with different offerings, but they can't please all of the people all of the time. This is not much of a complaint, frankly.

  14. BFBS and AFN ... when it's on, I can't even be sure it is on. Talk about vacuous.

  17. BFBS provides all our TV in the Falklands. This is what we get : BBC1, BBC2, ITV, BFBS Extra (CBBC in the day and random stuff from ITV3 or BBC4 in the evenings), Sky Sport 1 (football), Sky Sport 2 (more football), BFBS Sport (mostly Sky Sports news - people talking about football), Sky News (a ten minute loop of headlines), BBC News (a twenty minute loop of headlines), Nepalese TV (for the Gurhkas, probably the best channel here!). So, not only is most of our television crap and/or football, it's not even very much crap and/or football... Think yourselves lucky all of you that have dozens of channels of crap to choose from !
