So what's your fantasy schedule? Not sure what mine is at the moment, but it certainly wouldn't include any of the programmes above. It's not as easy as I thought to come up with a definitive schedule as I generally like a bit of variety (no, not Sunday Night at the London Palladium!) in my viewing. At the moment I guess it would include programmes such as Hollyoaks, Grand Designs , Faking It, Big Brother, Teachers and the quality ITV drama premieres which aren't detective shows (eg Eyewitness, Second Coming, Henry VIII). If it had to have a news bulletin, I'd say either Five News at 5.30pm (with the old theme tune) or the Nightly News at 11pm (as it was!).

You just want snuff movies...well as long as they don't star Paul Hudson, Peter Levy, Michael Crawford or Bobby George then I suppose I will oblige.
CLARIFICATION: A film along the lines of Schindler's List, the Alien films, Carrie etc... incidentally, did you know Bobby George actually HAS done a film? I forget the name of it, but he's definitely done one with a bit of a gangster theme.....
