Easter schedules

I'm sure the 2 or 3 people who watch Songs of Praise won't care

Are/were you a regular at that church?

Asking becuase there's always been that thing about churches being packed out whenever the cameras are and empty the rest of he time, was wondering if that's the case?

When the programme was broadcast we identified hundreds of people who wouldn't have been there but for the cameras - most of them, such as a local hospital trust boss, were obviously there for their own ends.

But my involvement had nothing to do with the church - my headmaster, who was also my German teacher, was an interviewee and they wanted footage of him teaching for his bit. I should have been in that footage but declined the "offer" to appear.

Got the Radio Times today and it appears Good Friday will be as normal really, just that ITV1 don't have This Morning, they just seem to have a couple of Lifestyle programmes in it's place and no full Regional News at 6.00pm, just the usual Sunday set-up, and the Late News being at 10.45pm due to the rerun of Emma.

Channel 4 seem to be the same aswell, just that they have no News At Noon and Watership Down from 12.50pm to 2.25pm.

The confirmed schedules for the rest of the holiday are now out - and as expected very little effort made. No films at all on BBC1 on Easter Day - instead opting for the usual comedies/Diagnosis Murder/EastEnders. At least they've moved Castaway though. Easter Monday is basically normal daytime until 2.10pm, when they show The Sound of Music.

BBC1 Easter Day:
5.35 Songs of Praise
6.10 Antiques Roadshow
7.00 Castaway
7.35 News
8.00 Play It Again
9.00 George Gently
10.30 News

Easter Monday:
5.35 Toy Story 2
7.00 Mission Africa
7.30 News
8.00 EastEnders
8.30 DIY SOS
9.00 New Tricks
10.00 News

What happened to ITV1's films this Easter ? Not a single film shown from Friday to Monday. Easter Weekends used to be the time to dust off a Bond Movie, Zulu and Turner & Hooch, but now it's just the usual daytime fare, do they really do better business ? Do we really need Daily Cooks on a Bank Holiday ?

I appreciate with the good weather ratings will be low, but this 'holiday' period hasn't felt any different at all, televisually.

But why those above mentioned films, here's an idea why not put on some films that haven't been played to death

So suprised to see Toy Story 2 on, especially that the first one aired just over two weeks ago.

Absolutely p*** poor. Where are the Two Ronnies, Willy Wonka, Jesus Of Nazereth?

ITV are doing a Back to the Future II fest this Easter. As much as I like it...(*side glance* one of my favourite movies in fact)... talk about overdoing it!

At least BBC Scotland finally decided to show The Weakest Link Dr Who Special instead of Antiques Roadshow - and although I'm not too keen on waiting to see programmes after the rest of the UK, it did brighten up Easter Sunday.
