Daytime TV

Is that the new one with Ray Winstone playing Magwitch? I thought that wasn't out until Christmas week.

No, David Lean's classic 1946 version with a very young-looking John Mills

Ooh, Great Expectations on C4

Mind you, I've missed over an hour of it, I've got it on DVD without adverts at home, and I can't have the sound up in here, so there's not much point watching it

Ah, you've just reminded me. The films we get here on the European channels either have no adverts or a single break in the middle.

It's quite refreshing, and they don't cut the, ahem, interesting bits.

Speak of the devil - I've just been assigned a volume control bug, so I can make some noise

[NickFitz]

You'll have to speak up, we can't hear you coz of the noise of Great Expectations.

I was on to Only Fools and Horses by then

[NickFitz]

Good god, there's a channel called "Psychic Today"

Presumably they tell you how the programmes end before you watch them

I didn't know there WAS a Freesat2. What's wrong with the old one?

The old one was what could be done a few years ago; the new one will be what can be done now

But not delivered till tomorrow I assume?

Could be a Radio 4 play.

All Radio 4 plays set in the Victorian era have a lot of shouting.

And dodgy fake sounding accents too.

Even better - next year!
