BBC to show NBC Weakest Link?

Hi,

I'm a new reader of this site and am really enjoying TV Home, I've been interested in TV since 4 - I'm 19 now.

I used to copy down TV schedules from Oracle onto paper, I still have the pages now!

Anyway, does anyone know if the BBC are planning to show the American versions of the Weakest Link, apparently it starts this Monday night on NBC -  the web site is here...

Anyway, thanks for keeping me entertained when I am bored

I think it's doubtful we'll get to see the series on maintstream BBC1, BBC Choice is a possibility, but expect we'll see many clips on the news etc.

I doubt we will see it here in the UK. The main reason being the BBC would have to buy the program from NBC.

BBC3, not Choice, which closes in a few months.

Not quite true! BBC3 has not yet been given the go-ahead to air and AFAIK, BBC3 launch has been penciled in for, at the earliest, December.

Cheers, Asa

either BBC 3 or 4 cant remember which, one is supposed to launch with the last night of the proms. they may have changed it though.

That's BBC FOUR, but I think it's been postponed waiting for government approval.

I got an e-mail off the BBC a couple of weeks ago saying that BBC 3 & 4 have been approved by the government, and are therefore definitely going ahead.

Hmm! Asa got something wrong! That makes a change!
