UKTV are re-launching UKTV Style as Home

Tell me about it. I get paid quite well when working - but nothing at all when not. Of course a 'headline' in a paper would give the annual amount if working 24/7 - rather like they did with plumbers a couple of years ago.

And since I mainly work for ITV I'm looking at a lean year ahead.

I think that a lot of it is down to the producer. There was an episode of DIY SOS where they deconstructed their own style somewhat, and the important term is" jeopardy". You can't go into the adverts without it. ;-)

"I'm a bit concerned about this post - is it sufficiently well-crafted to make its point without professional editing? Only time will tell."

Lengthy recap

If they would stop doing the latter, it would be a constructive contribution to at least maintaining viewing figures. As soon as I've seen one episode of whatever that has this feature, I do not watch another! There's not much TV that I can watch!

A PVR is worth its weight in gold for this purpose - it can save hours.

Not as bad as the "New Series" of "one hour" programmes that consist of 40 mins repeat, 5 mins new footage "revisiting" and 15mins advertising.

Avoided at all costs!

I must get one of those widgets.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Man at B&Q" saying something like:

When GD does that, I just watch the last ten minutes of it, assuming it's a project house I was interested in from seeing it first time round.
