Magicians (Mitchell & Webb)

Which channels will these films air on d'ya reckon?


It isn't really so much the case with Mitchell and Webb. If you think about it, That Mitchell and Webb Look airs on BBC2, whilst Peep Show is broadcast on Channel 4.

There's nothing to stop the back catalogue of Byker Grove for example turning up one day on Nickelodeon for example.
Except for them buying it.

Paper spin of course, but how arrogant and unfair on the actors who haven't had a career afterwards and could perhaps do with any repeat fees that might come their way.

The only things pre Only Fools you see him in is stuff where he wasn't the main star eg Open All Hours, but doesn't his appearence in Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) get shown too?

I gather both 'Lucky Feller' & 'A Sharp Intake Of Breath' were pulled from repeats, as he wasn't keen on his performance in them.

Could us viewers be the judge of his performance & not him?

I'm surprised the LWT Ronnie Barker stuff didn't get an airing on Granada Plus when they were transmitting, as 'The Odd Job Man' episode from 'Six Dates With Barker' got rescreened by C4 'Tv Heaven' back in 1992 & that was in black & white, due to the ITV Colour Strike in 1970.
