Wait, pre-watershed on free television? That's pretty hardcore. I hope they don't cut it.

JUST ONE MORE STEEL ROD IN THE GIANT WAR MACHINE OF UNITED STATE'S CULTURAL HEGEMONY!!!!!

MUAHAHAHAH.

Does this mean TDS will now be covering more British news? Probably not, but that would be cool, British news always interests me.

I'm not a fan of Tony Blair, though. Cameras on street corners, ending double jeopardy laws, it's just so Unamerican...

they've been showing an edited version on CNN Int'l for a while now, once a week.

this is supposed to be the entire show, uncut, for the UK.

I'm very excited about this but unfortunately I've hit a snag. Why 8.30? - it's the worst possible time slot for me because it clashes with every soap opera in existence and a whole bunch of other stuff that Mrs Geezer wants to watch. She'll often watch one show and record another in that slot. She's trying to be very accomodating simply because I don't watch many TV shows normally, but I don't think it's going to work.

Back to Bittorrent for me.

Wingeing aside though the More4 channel looks quite promising - they've got a few good documentaries coming up for a start.

And of course I don't get home until 8.45 every night... Bumholes.

Any chance of More 4+1 as they've done with E4+1?
