BBC TWO shows DOG

Why do they have bbc.co.uk in the corner anyway. When you go on the internet the first sites you visit are Yahoo and the BBC.

What internet user in this country can vouch that they have never been to bbc.co.uk?

I think most people have been to the BBC's sites. It's the biggest network in the UK! (OK, maybe MSN is a little gigger - or is it?)

Well when BBC News Interactive launches (maybe later this year?) they will probably remove the web address. Will they?

But yes, they could surely redesign the dogs to one or two corners of the screen.....

(Joking)
BBC News 24 are currently rethinking their DOG plans and will increase their use of them.... give it a few years and we'll be watching the channel through one of the holes in the B s.

Why cant BBC DOGS (or BUGS) be translucent, like channel 5s (which is very discret..)
Also if the beeb insist on having their web addres (its so hard to remember..)get rid ofthe http://www. bit and just have bbc.co.uk.
As every station wants its name know why not tatto it on presenters foreheads??

If BBC 1 and 2 introduce DOG's then I for one will be defianately complaning. I'm a Red Dwarf Fan and I like to record them when they're on, partially because UK gold have a DOG and I don't want it over my recordings.

Anyone else agree/back me up?

DOGs don't annoy me that much, but the BBC DOGs are really long! Channel 5 and Sky One have small, square DOGs, but the BBC CHOICE one and the BBC TWO one stretches right across the screen.... Why?!

I'd hate to have those DOGs all over my recordings.

BTW, kingrikk, apparently the Red Dwarf Fan Club private website have said Red Dwarf repeats will be on BBC 2 later in the year...

TORDFC are usually pretty reliable though... I hope they are anyway!
