Why would they have problems with the TVS episodes? Confused:


They may not neccessarilly, that was just me guessing as I thought TVS' archive was with Disney, unless Carlton owned the rights to these episodes in the end?

Its a shame because FTN have been really good showing old episodes of shows up to now. Who wants to see the Nick Weir editions for goodness sake.

Hey,

Just a quick update to let everyone know that Series 1 of Fort Boyard will be airing on FTN from July 2007.

Is that the Channel 5 version (with Melinda Messenger) or the Challenge version (with Tom Baker in the Watchtower)?


It should be the Melinda Messenger ones ! Smile

I'm sure I've seen TVS era episodes repeated, probably during the early years of Challenge. Action Time might have the rights to those early episodes rather than Disney.

Take it nobody else saw Ftn fall over at midnight on Friday then, ending up rebroadcasting BBC One for about half a minute before putting up a fault caption and a bad crash into TGBBQ.

I presume FTN is played out by RedBee then?

It is - http://www.redbeemedia.com/playout/flextech.shtml - as are all the other Flextech/Virgin channels.

Yes, it has been for around a year - though I believe this particular problem may have originated elsewhere.

Does anyone know if FTN are going to be showing the 1992-5 series after the 1991 series ends this week?

Last time I checked, Flextech had the rights to the 1992 series (and obviously 1987-1991) but not 1993 or 1995. You may know there was no series in 1994. Whether the situation has changed since then I couldn't say.
