You're right about the Observer, Pete, it is just a rehashed press release. But C5 does still have the worst public image of the terrestrial channels, even worse than ITV which I think deserves it more, and maybe this will help. Unless they turn the Gorbachev programme into "The Mystery of Stalin's Brain" or similar.

Now - "The Mystery of Ernie Wise's Brain" - there'd be a programme for you.
― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 11 April 2005 10:18 (twenty years ago)
The one about Einstein's brain was good.

so, anyway, the two new channel 5 things, US and Live. anything worth catching on them?
i did see Nightmares And Dreamscapes which was great, like the new Outer Limits from a few years ago albeit with all the stories written by Stephen King. first one was the green army men taking revenge for their murdered toy store owner...
(oh, and the scriptwriter's father wrote I Am Legend and The Incredible Shrinking Man and the 20,000 ft episode of the Twilight Zone, thought i recognised the name)

not caught the N&D thing yet. lots of csi, some us sports. a few decent movies too.
overall, better than most of the other digital free channel offerings.

yes, nice to be able to watch Bob skate whilst eating my tea. nothing i hadn't already seen via the miracle of video tape but...
however, they really do need to get rid of the american accented woman who does the announcements. what weird-ass american accent is that anyway?

I wish Happy Days was on at 8 o'clock too. I don't know how it got lumbered with 5 o'clock in the first place.
If it was on at 8 o'clock I would think it was shit, but at least it wouldn't be Friends.
I have not seen any 5 Life, but Film 4 has changed channel numbers.
I am getting Four Weddings and Notting Hill withdrawal symptoms.
Last night there was something about Fela Kuti on. I don't think I had ever seen him in action before.
― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 19 October 2006 13:43 (nineteen years ago)
oh right, for some reason (i wonder) they're not showing it on their web site tv listings page.
― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 19 October 2006 13:47 (nineteen years ago)
seriously, putting a few pillar boxes, and a few 'coppers' in the background (and a generic football mug in the police station) doesn't mean it looks like crouch end especially if all the houses are wooden and all the taxis in the background are yellow.
(although they were all driving on the left. which i think they may have done by reversing the film - he wrote down an address left-handed and it looked really odd)
(pjm, the fela kuti thing was African Rock And Roll Years (part 3) on bbc4. is on again tonight i think)

I am pleased to see that C5 has now returned to its p0rn roots with 4 episodes/week of "make me a supermodel" - aka "make me watch hot jailbait cavorting round in their underwear"

i hope they get 'the shield part the sixth' quickly.

The shocking conclusion to this film is that without railways there would have been no war and no Holocaust.
big road is really pulling out all the stops huh

Hitler plus trains ticks so many Yesterday documentary boxes

Tarrant is Channel 5's resident railways man, he's done 4 seasons of Extreme Railways now.
― Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Wednesday, 24 October 2018 11:39 (seven years ago)
if you thought his railways were extreme before, wait till you get a load of this

if only there could have been more localised barbarity instead of it being concentrated in remote killing centres, those damned trains!
― calzino, Wednesday, 24 October 2018 11:55 (seven years ago)
although it is widely accepted many Hungarian Jews could have been save if allied forces had bombed the railway lines to Auschwitz.
