I'm not saying I don't like 'Two Pints...' My complaint is that the BBC Three scheduler really should pull his finger out and do his job! There are far too many repeats of this show. I mean it is on EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, from mostly 10:30pm back to back.

To compare it to Friends and The Simpsons is really pathetic in my view. a) E4/Sky One is not a license paid channel and there is a far greater selection of programmes (not always repeats) on those than BBC3.

Does nobody agree with me? Am I really just becoming bitter and twisted in my youth? Wink

Oh?....Its on now?...huh...oh dear me..

i agree, although i think two pints is hilarious, it does seem to be on all the time, especially, as you said, the bbc gets the license money. e4 has set the standard Very Happy

its great to hear that new episodes of two pints are on the way though

I agree too! I was only saying 20 minutes ago that all BBC 3 shows is 2 Pints and Little Britain. I've more or less given up looking to see what's on the channel these days.

Have they stopped 'Liquid News' aswell? 'B.B.C.3.' seemed like such a good channel when it launched. It was. It is, just not what it was. They even changed the logo slightly, and trailer layout. Anybody else noticed that? It used to be a white logo, with transparent text, against a blended blue strip. I think I also remember seeing a blended blue logo, on a white strip. Now there isn't a strip, and it is a blue logo, with white text.

Going back. What was 'Celebdaq'? I remember seeing it promoted, but what was it. Was 'Liquid news' axed?

Liquid News was axed in early 2004 because of poor performance. One thing I miss is watching Claudia and Paddy of a midnight hour.

Celebdaq was the Celebrity stock exchange that finished soon after Liquid News, however you can still play online www.bbc.co.uk/celebdaq

I quite like Two Pints but talk about overload. Its on
BBC2
UKTV Gold
UKTV G2
and BBC Three.

And they are always at different places meaning it's difficult to follow the story arc.

It sounds like a title of some sort of porn flick. Laughing

TittyBangBang is another sketch show, trying to jump on the Little Britain/ManStrokeWoman bandwagon with an almost-all female cast.

Also, it's crap. Every sketch just smacks of 'trying far, far too hard, yet not succeding.'

Doesn't even get that far to my mind. I thnk it doesn't even try, it just exists and hopes to be funny.

I did sit through the first episode though, just to give it a chance. I then wished I hadn't bothered.

The trail was bad enough for me!

One thing I can't stand about it is the way they've tried so hard to come up with catchphrases to rival "Yeah, I Know!", or "The Only Gay In The Village", but, "Don't look at me, I'm shy", doesn't quite work the same.
