I've just noticed that "The Screenwipe Guide To TV" is going to be shown on BBC2 on Wednesday 31st October at 11:50pm:

I know that BBC2 often show repeats of BBC4 programmes, but could this mean that Screenwipe is being moved to BBC2?

Hopefully not. I think the programme suits BBC Four, and in some ways I think CB can probably get away with more than he would on BBC Two.

I'd guess that this is just being shown as something of a teaser to hook more viewers into the programme on BBC Four. Maybe.

They're just repeating the credit guidelines edition of Screenwipe on BBC2 complete with BBC2 modification. Nice touch.

Yeah, neat idea! In fact they've showed new colours in the vain of trail endcaps changeable scheme - instead of the usual deep aqua ECPs, they showed orange, red and light aqua versions respectively - and the BBC4 'Swimming Pool' symbol was replaced with a shorter 'Cappuccino'.

They changed the ending as well, where Charlie said:

"...and now, since we've already run the credits I'm just gonna dump you back onto BBC2"

I wasn't expecting them to change it all for BBC2. Very nice touch.

I wonder if that show is the sucessor to Eat the Spouse.

They're revised repeats, last night they added a bit about Peter Fincham's resignation which had happened since the original

For those who have Sky Anytime enabled on their Sky+ boxes, you may want to check out Tapping The Wire if you haven't seen it already - a half hour programme with Charlie Brooker all about how good The Wire on FX is.

It's been on there since last weekend, so might drop off any day now though.

I'd loved to have seen a full edition of The History of Corners with Victoria Coren .
