When Cookery School started, the repeat airing used to be at 11am, the following week it changed to 3.30pm. Random changes to scheduling doesn't help.

I also didn't know that they show two episodes of Ali G, so set the Freeview+ PVR to record and as Comux channels don't have series link, I missed an episode.

We do not need two channels airing crap like Made in Chelsea! Have they run out of episodes of London's burning to repeat?

They're on their second cycle of repeats of London's Burning.

Considering they're targeting a slightly older audience, Made in Chelsea does jar with the other repeats.

It''s not something that appeals to most of here I'm sure and though it might be at odds at their strategy of going older I do think Made in Chelsea is a wise acquisition to try and get a young audience to the channel. Much better than using Crossroads as your main selling point.

Ironically, Made in Chelsea is less patronising to the younger demographic than some of London Live's commissions. Place Invaders being one of them.

It could be debated that Ali G would also attract younger audiences, yet the core audience who watched the show when it was on Channel 4 are now in their mid thirties.

Getting very bored of the Ali G promo now

Getting very bored with all their trailers quite frankly. They're on such high rotation and bookend every break, it's like Chinese water torture! It might be better to replace some of them with brief 'what's on' guides to up their PSB quota?

The BT sale (complete with sound drop, nice one Comux!) advert is as overplayed.

I see that today they are airing news and current affairs continuously 8.30am to 2pm

Between the news bulletins there is the Headline Interview at 10am and Election Smackdown at 11am

Reya El-Salahi is in the presenting chair today.

Rather a lot of 'best of' material from the week in this programme.

They also had an increase of best-of clips yesterday. Vanessa Baffoe's piece was also repeated today.

Seeing as Sunday appears to be the VJ presenting shift, Vanessa will probably present next weekend.
