I'm just saying BBC Three and E4 have playful banter with each other. Having an "outsider" make a comment loses its playfulness. My nod to Murdoch was simply a vague comical reference to the right wing beating the BBC to a pulp.

But I wouldn't want to think too deeply into a deep thought about a thought that was perceived to be deep.

How useful it is when a channel is listed in the TV guide and you can see what they're showing.

Nice choice. Just a shame they're leaving it to the last day at 3:25am to say "see, we can make good stuff".

To be fair, it is a repeat of 9pm, which is followed by Little Britain. They're also showing Bad Education at 22:30 and The Mighty Boosh at 0:30 followed by five of their lesser well known comedy shows.

And "lesser well known" is how their comedy will be from that point forward.

Yeah! What are the BBC thinking? The amount of twenty-somethings who eagrely study the BBC Three column of the Radio Times the moment it drops through their door...

Although to be picky, the episode they're showing was a BBC One commission.

Just a thought, People Just Do Nothing was originally a web series for YouTube, which then went on to be a web pilot for BBC Three's Feed My Funny, gets a commission from BBC Three and then ends up being a web serial on the BBC Three section of iPlayer.

...which, unlike YouTube, is only available in the UK!

You'd have thought they'd have chosen a notable series finale to go out with rather than episode 1, although I guess they are still clinging to the idea that the channel continues online.

Is that not the situation?
