Oh well, BBC1 Scotland has a gap at 1:05am.


Just out of interest, how on earth can you see what's happening in every region? Do you live in a camper-van and drive like lightening up the M1? Please tell me because I'm startled.

BOO! Wink

You can see all the regions on Sky Digital up in the 900s, just after the porn channels (if you're going DOWN through them).

Every national, regional and sub-regional variant of BBC One is available on Digital Satellite (aka Sky Digital - though you don't have to have a Sky sub or Sky receiver for these, pretty much any FTA digital receiver or PC satellite receiver card will work)

Every BBC Two National variation is also available - they are in the 940s and up in the Sky EPG.

Well I never! All this time and they were only a press of a button away! I can watch BBC Wales Today this evening (I am welsh).

Because there was no one in to do the junctions, presumably.


Yeah I would have thought that myself. But if the Continuity announcers are on strike as well then I don't see them crossing the picket line just to do the news junction.

I noticed that Wales and N.I. are still on air Confused


It's quite possible for some people who do a job to be on strike while others who do the same job are not on strike.
