BBC One East

This evening on BBC One, straight after Big Break, there wa a regional trailer advertising changes to the schedule on Monday. I think they're adding an additional programme at 22.25. Followed by Ruby Way and other programs. Regional idents on Monday night then ???

I'd love to know what the extra programme is about - nothing is happening here (as far as I know!)

Ruby Way? Could be another soap!

Do you think all BBC regions will have a special programme then? Or will it just be BBC East?

Heh heh!

It's about a pier which is quite famous in the region. Or at least I think it's about a pier.

Great !!! A pier!!! How long is the programme?

Southend Pier is the longest in the world, but that is technically in the South East region. Maybe it's Clacton or something in the --Folk counties.

South today added a programme on thursday night. However they did it very badley.
First at the end of the news the screen goes white and the image seams to expand and explode in to the weather, sounds odd but it really hard to discribe..sought of like in si-fi movies when aliens envade and take over tv (that sought of effect..) Then after the weather half way through a radio 4 trail, an graphic comes up and a voice over says there have been changes to the schedule. Then a programe,recorded Ob, from plymouth starts which asumes its live very odd.

Well, I think it's this pier that's had a lot of troubles in the past century. Blown away, caught fire. I dunno. It might not be about a pier but that's the impression I got

Slightly off topic:
Has anyone noticed how many times the Ruby Wax trailer is shown - it must follow every programme.
I get tired of the same trailers all the time, it was the same with The Cazalets and Waking the Dead.

Which pier then? Are they doing a special programme with BBC North West and doing Blackpool! Lol!

Can't think of any piers in the BBC East region. Ideas anyone?

Piers are better than beach huts which south today had a feature about EVERY day last week...

How sad are the programme planning department then?

I'm pretty sure it's just in the East.... I live in the North West and under the choice heading for 'Hot Wax' in the Radio Times...it says : (Not East) so I assume it is just that region.
