1319623 2012-12-22 09:45:00 Awwwww boooooo it's a crap new version, it amazes me that people who decide to make a new version can't see that the old version could never be surpassed. zqwerty (97)
1319624 2012-12-22 10:38:00 Just watched a interesting program on BBC knowledge ( don't know if its on freeview)

Learnt something new, the Movie JAWS was actually highly based on real events, a small holiday town in the US, in 1916 -- When they ran through it from the beginning of the first shark attack to the final capture, apart from a bit of extra Hollywood add ins, its actually close to what happened at the time, right down to the lone swimmer getting attacked at the beginning.

1319625 2012-12-22 10:57:00 But did they tell you that you are about twice as likely to be killed by a vending machine than a shark? Agent_24 (57)

NO!!
All the extra stations on freeview are all braindead, with one exception I was thinking of getting "coast" on DVD and then I would never have to tune into 'choice' again,

1319627 2012-12-22 18:59:00 I've got Freeview and I do tend to like that Chinese news station, they broadcast in English. Digby (677)
1319628 2012-12-22 19:02:00 Dr Who! - is Billy Piper in it?

I have not watched it for ages.

But I did see the first few series when I was young.
Me and my parents, we hated the Daleks.

(But I tried to make models of them)

1319629 2012-12-22 19:26:00 But did they tell you that you are about twice as likely to be killed by a vending machine than a shark? Yep they went into all that, in fact more people get killed by bee stings than shark attacks.

It was just interesting that it was based on a real life happening, never knew that. BBC knowledge sometimes has some good programs.

Only thing I dont like about freeview, sometimes not exactly a lot of choice of what to watch.

1319630 2012-12-22 21:45:00 Yeah, sigh.

Thank goodness for recorded media at home. I can pig out to Red Dwarf, Family Guy or Southpark rather than face the predicable Xmas drek they offer us.

Good news for Red Dwarf Fans, there's a new seriex, Series X screening inthe UK, which is getting good reviews.
Those that get UKTV (not me) can start enjoying it now.

I'm off the booze, so I can't even spend Xmas comfortably numb.
Booze used to be a good defence against the Xmas programming!

Braindead?? C'mon...perhaps you are braindead if you have that opinion. There are some excellent docos on Choice, but then, one has to have a modicum of intelligence to realise that. You are :illogical in your statements.
