By the way, BBC 2 still saying sorry and running 5 minutes late!

Yeah it is, it cut, God The Devil and Bob, which was 20 mins long, and they might aswell say the delay is five mins.

Oh god no!
I remember the BBC News 24 General Thread, my first post was made in there and it went on to become about a 20 something page topic Smile
I'm keeping well clear of those arguements.
But I think the Sky News relaunch would be an excellent point to put the chat room in for the day.

Ducking an argument? !!!!! Wink

No, but a great idea me thinks and with 3 months off from uni I'm around here a lot unless I can find a job!!

Very intersting!

I was round a friends house at the time and thought it was a problem with ntl analogue cable.

Sadly I missed it all!

I was very dissapointed when my episode of the Vicar of Dibley was interupted!

Ah, well!

Since you're all in here at the moment, you might be interested in the thread I've just started:

It's a link to a site by a BBC producer about the troubles on outside broadcasts abroad - including many pictures!

And there is a thread in the same forum coming up to its 2nd year of life!
