Advantages: Full of entertaining shows... Disadvantages: ...full of repeats
programming. They intriguingly have the coverage of the World Rally Championships and have begun making comedy shows such as Argumental.
Of course, if you only watch the channel sporadically then the repeats of repeats are nothing to worry about. I tend to watch Top Gear in the daytime if I'm at home and nothing else is on - generally I'll have seen the episode but if they're showing a quite old one it's always good to see it again, or if it's a really recent one then I may not have seen it. In the evenings I've become a big fan of QI having never really watched it during it's original runs on the BBC, and now they've started showing the likes of Spaced (see review of Spaced for more!!) then the more content the merrier.
It's available on Freeview channel 19, along with Dave-ja-vu on 25, and you can watch Dave on Sky channel 111. If there ...

Advantages: Full of suspense, good performance by Birch Disadvantages: Didn't quite deliver...
Liz Dunn has a major crush on fellow student, Mike. Unfortunately, she isn't one of the popular students, so she devises a plan with friend Martyn, to get Mike to herself. Martyn arranges for Liz, Mike, and trendy students, Geoff and Frankie, to spend three days in an underground bomb shelter.

Although Keira Knightley, who plays Frankie, is probably the best known actress in this film, it is Thora Birch as Liz who gives ...

Advantages: Silly and quite enrtertaining! Disadvantages: All the contestants work for the BBC!
We give the world Who wants to be a Millionaire and what do we get in return? We get Hole in the Wall!! Somehow this is Saturday night TV gone mental as the fact is that I was actually hooked on this after one episode in the same way that I was with the Channel Five show Night Fever.
Originating from the Japanese game show called Tonneruzu, the premise is simple. The wall accelerates towards the game zone and the contestants have to fit through the space in the wall by means of the shape that has been cut out, whether it is a stance, a position or simply a hole. If they don't then they end up in a pool of water, bottom line is they have to adopt the shape to get through the wall and win points.
BBC1 broadcast the show on a Saturday night at around 5.30; this is a simple show and acts as a warm up for the evening schedule that until ...
