Can they stop making shows like this? I was watching EastEnders on BBC3 and throughout the credits it had those animated things used in their idents in the corner of the screen,singing a song about this bollocks.

Why do women feel the need for this rubbish? They get to retire five years earlier and still get the husband's wages so it's not all that bad.They couldn't even have the decency to send the women to their husband's work. They'll probably get a free holiday.

Might I suggest you email your comments to Stuart Murphy, BBC3 controller.

I think the series about the women leaving home is quite interesting in some ways - but what happens if it were the blokes leaving the women in the village? Would you still feel so peeved about it?

But on a presentational POV - yes, those captions that appear plugging the next programme are really annoying. It's a pet hate of mine on digital channels especially when us digital viewers have an EPG to check what's on next.

Is this the one where they sent the Women to Center Parcs? I was there when they were filmed it, but I never saw any cameras. My mum works there too, and she told me about it. I was going to watch it, but I enver got roudn to it.

Was it just me or was the majority of the soundtrack taken from 'The Terminal'?

It gets even worse next week - BBC2 have "Bring your husband to heel" in which a dog trainer uses methods used on dogs to train husbands!

There's something really strange going on at BBC Three, I'm sure of it.

They only seem to have trailers for three programmes at the moment. The Week The Women Went, The Mighty Boosh and The Smoking Room.

In the last couple of weeks alone these three trailers seem to appear at every junction.
I don't think I've seen any other trailers for anything else on the channel.

They've even dropped all mention of the "Comedy Tuesday" and "Comedy Tuesday from 9pm" stuff now, plus any other similiar ventures.
