I went to see this weeks programme being recorded on Thursday, at the time of recording I didn't think that it was the best of the series by far. But there were some gems in there, and a lot of padding.

The best things for me were the asparagus song, and the Eastenders parrot, that was hilarious.

This morning, at around 0:40am, STV repeated episode 4 from the current series (originally shown on 26th January).

I know that STV don't normally repeat TV Burp, but they have repeated the Christmas episode and Review of the Year episodes at various points (the review of the year was repeated on 29th January). I don't know if episode 3 was ever repeated, but it seems as though they are repeating them in order, despite how old they are (the episode shown last night was over a month old).

This is a programme which is specific to the week's tv, so it seems strange that they are repeating a programme like this over a month after it was first shown.

I know that the episode shown last night was just a filler programme in a graveyard slot, but it's in the schedule for the same time next week (and possibly the week after). Given that they don't have repeats every week, surely it would be better to repeat the most recent episode, rather than just repeating them in order several weeks after they were first shown.

Not likely also that one last night was cut by 10mins!

What do you mean by "not likely"?

The programme wasn't cut, as I've seen it!

It was in a 20 minute slot, although it started at around 0:37, and finished at around 1:03.

The programme itself was only around 24 minutes long. At that time of night, they don't show adverts, they just show a couple of trailers inbetween programmes & during advert breaks, hence the reason for it not needing a 30 minute slot, although it should have had a 25 minute slot.

I've also just noticed that the repeat which was due to be shown next Thursday from 0:35-1:00am has now been cancelled.

TV Burp isn't on ITV.com is it? I've never used the service yet but I didn't see it when I browsed onto it recently.

Some chappy had TV Burp 08 episodes on YouTube but I cant seem to find them any more.

Any clues? I missed this weeks.

It's not available on ITV.com, although this week's episode is being shown on ITV2 tomorrow at 12:30pm.

Also, I've just discovered that there's quite an old episode available on the Avalon website:

That's the pilot eposide on the Avalon site. Thanks for the heads-up re the ITV2 repeat, although I suspect I may be otherwise engaged at midnight-30 on a Friday!

It's on at 12:30pm (i.e. in the afternoon), not the morning.

Ahh. I'm at work, sadly, and am currently without recording facilities (without being there to power up a hard-drive system, that is).

A bag of pan-drops and a cuddle to the person who youtubes it for me.

Becasue it does not have the time to repeat it some weeks as it being filled with other show, and STV does show all epsoide, it just mean that it will just roll over to the following week,

the same was done with Dame Edna show, it was shown ramdom around the 11pm slot for about 8 weeks

STV likes to have full use of the block, so there a filler programme ( in the good old is was Tom weir!!!) used to till network, now adays it seem that its Tv burp that get the honers, which is good for the viewers in STV,



STV will happiley show all TV burps, over the next coming 10 weeks,
