BBC3 and clashes

How can I see my shows? (March 2004)

I have been watching several shows recently but this week is rather upsetting due to the high volume of clashes. BBC3 is practically making me cry and I don't know what to do. Here's my story:

My recent viewing habits have included Miss Match on Living TV, Hardware and 2DTV on ITV, and new Two Pints Of Lager, Catterick and new 15 Storeys High on BBC3. Feel free to point and laugh. Anyway, with 2D / Hardware on Sundays being the same time as TPOL / Catterick on 3, I had to watch TPOL on Thursdays before Storeys, and Catterick on Mondays. But now the Monday Catterick has been dropped in favour of Nighty Night. Last week's Catterick I saw on Wednesday after Miss Match. This Wed the show is earlier and clashes with Match. The Total Guide gives Thurs as TPOL and 3 Non Blondes (no 15 Storeys) but the EPG has something different entirely. And yesterday I found out Hardware is repeated later in the week (so I shouldn't have watched it on Sunday!) This Sun I watched the Stella Street special instead of 2DTV, but 2D is repeated tonight on ITV2. How, though, can I see Catterick, 15 Storeys, Miss Match AND TPOL this week? I know TPOL and Catterick are on tonight from 9 but they clash with Angel, which is what my brother watches. So do I:
(a) Lose Miss Match and TPOL but get Catterick;
(b) Lose crucial final Catterick but see Miss Match in order to continue being an Alicia Silverstone fan;
(c) Wait months for the BBC3 guff to trickle down to BBC2;
(d) Lock myself in a dark room and cry;
(e) Stop watching such ***** ******* excuses for ****** television and start watching some ******** decent shows;
(f) Charlotte Church.

You have 40 minutes to solve all my problems.

I'd go for (f) purely for the comedy aspect of putting this into your list of choices.. Very Happy

Is there any way you can get your brother to wait until Saturday night when the same episode of Angel is repeated on Sky One?

If so, then you can watch Two Pints of Lager and Vic and Bob in Catterick tonight at 9.00 and 9.30 on BBC3, then 2DTV at 10.25 on ITV2. Then you've freed up your Wednesday clash to watch Miss Match, Living, 10.00, and haven't got to worry about whether TPOL is on on Thursday (looks like it isn't to me either).

If not, you could break Miss Match into two parts, watching the second half on Living+1 allowing you to watch Catterick on Wednesday, but then you'll miss out on Two Pints of Lager unless it's repeated late on Saturday like it was last week, but I can't tell you if it is because DigiGuide has a bug with the switch to BST.

Blimey, & I thought 'Charmed' on Living & The Bill on ITV 1 was bad enough!

(Yes I do know about Living + 1 !)
