Nostalgia ain't what it used to be....

While I've been decidedly underwhelmed by the programming on More4 and the upcoming launch of Sky Three leaves me equally cold, let's hear it for new tv channel ITV4, which starts broadcasting on November 1st.

Among their line-up is an impressive array of nostalgic tv classics, such titles as Department S (who was asking me about that at connotations?), The Persuaders, The Protectors, Jason King and it looks like I might finally get to see First Wave, which I always seemed to miss!

Well, that's me hooked. ;)

It's classic tv from the 70's, the kind of thing they used to show in the afternoons when I was a student. ;)

And Sky 3 is just recycling all the old Sky stuff - Tru Calling, Jake 2.0 etc. Nothing we haven't seen ad nauseum.

As for the info, I love my Digiguide! :P

Doh! I can't believe I didn't think to check digiguide.

Yeah, the sky 3 stuff is a waste of time since it's all the same stuff that's already on the other two sky entertainment channels - what the heck is the point of that? ITV 4 doesn't seem like my thing, either. More4 is showing West Wing, which is okay these days but nothing special, and it looks like it might have other things on that I haven't seen and am actually interested one of these days.

Hmm, how does Dark Skies with Eric Close grab you? ;)

I noticed that on yesterday's update, and started bouncing! I loved that show when it was on, and I'll be very interested to see if I still feel the same way or if its time has passed. Pretty scenery, though. *g*
