British Television programmes

Just had the cable guy here to hook up our new tv. Now we get more networks, including at least 1 BBC. Usually our public television station broadcasts BBC America News and some pretty good programming, mysteries and the like. I'm excited!

Enjoy your BBC channel!! I hope you enjoy some of the british programmes you will get. We do get to see some good drama's from the BBC we forget how lucky we are sometimes!

I love the Inspector Lewis series. I'd already been getting the Downton Abbey series but needed to catch up, so I rented the dvd's and watched the first 2 seasons. The next ones don't start until January! Oh and Land Girls!

I know the olympic's is a big thing and needs many channels to show all the selection of sports, they have added quiet a few new tempory channels to help with that but to show sports over there 2 license paid channels is very bad especially when the olympic's is on these channels from 9am to 10pm every night. What if people don't want to watch any sport what are they to do? ITV,channel4 and channel 5 have other stuff on which is of a poor viewing standard and a lot of what they show is repeats of what's been shown from 48hr to a week ago. All I can say is thank goodness for SKY!

Here the Olympics is only carried by one of the major 3 free networks. They do re-air some highlights during news broadcasting on other networks. I'm not sure if any of the sports channels show any of it. I'm more of a fan of some of the more obscure sports like archery so I was up at 2 a.m. watching that!

Summer here is generally a time of a lot of reruns but it has gotten a little crazy as well. Airing the same episode of a show back to back is common and some of the programming I'm starting to know the lines by heart. I hope this fall things improve. Usually around the first part of September new shows and episodes start. And during Christmas time a lot of old classic Christmas movies are one. Those I don't mind watching over and over.

You should come to the UK as the Olympics is on all day! And you can pick what event you would like! Now I,m fed up of it.

It is getting to much! As I said thank goodness for Sky! I feel sorry for people who don't have Sky, like my next door neighbours! There are only so many Olympic sports you like.

Nah I didn't see this game, any good? You are right the girls are so fit. :whistle: Do you like any men's events?

Oh yes Karl! Swimming, diving, gymnastics, kayak, canoe and judo for example, but I pretty much watch anything that comes on TV, anything that is but boxing (can't stand it)

By the way Karl, I saw the Italian beachvolley team against the Canadian girls. We won again...

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I've been watching the gymnastics, really amazing! the strength they have to use both men and women! But enjoy the men more with their tight outfits! my glasses steam up! :ohmy:
