Well, all going well I should be able to see what all the fuss about Kevin and Puffin is from Thursday when I should officially be jumping ship from NTL and becoming part of the Sky Digital community!

- And I'll also be able to keep up with their rivals on Westcountry! lol!

Best to tune in on Saturday because after Oscar Puffin you get the delight of Time, Temp and Tide sponsored by Brown's Antiques, High Street, St Helier. (or similar). Yes a single shop gets an advert on TV!.

In relation to the channel islands, I'm wondering how many people live on Alderney and Sark, and do they ever feature on Channel Report?

Thanks, DialUp -

According to Gurnesey states Alderney has a static (i.e non holiday makers/visitor) population of 2,000 - Sark has 200

Yes, both islands occasionally feature on Channel Reports - Alderney had a report on it last week as SkyBet has it's base on the island due to the lax betting laws - and both islands have a resident cameraman based there.

did anyone see lisa present Puffin's Pla(i)ce this weekend???

..i thought she was really good..as a father of 2 girls... and they liked her..given time i think she would be a good replacement for kevin...i still think he is going to move on somewhere....i also think their shows together are fun if sometimes a little crazy..shame they dont have a bigger studio it looks really cramped..

Oscar still has a chipped bill though...and i want harry to have some clothes...sounds odd i know!!!

Also kevin was at a huge pop concert in guernsey and my best friends family went over and said that he got a great response..they did a comp for a winner to go back stage with kevin to interview the stars and meet them and that they are planning a special programme for saturdays show!!.....doing a good service to all the islands...not bad for a local kids birthday show!!...


Mr_riley

the studio is VERY small!! having been in it myself when taking the girlfriend her dinner in the evening! got a guided tour of it! Very Happy

the room cant be any bigger than 7ff x 8ft!! very small room! amazing how much bigger it looks on the actual screen tho

Kevin's phone went off live on air on today's show, which he presented just with Harry. Both Lisa and Oscar had the day off.

What I want to know is does Kevin have a proper job at Channel TV or just do 10 minutes work a day!. The show doesn't exactly need much preperation

also today he had a minute left and he joked about comming up with a new show "puffins at war" but then thought better of it and he also said "simply the puffin"...but then said what a rubbish idea or somethign like what..who would watch that...

also on the caption for the garfield comp it said henry instead of harry!!..whats the deal with lisa? is she a new presenter or takeing over??..it would not surprise me if she was being set up to take over, i feel also its time for a new studio...dunno can it be made bigger??
