Hi Christine,

Sorry not a lot to watch, the Beeb must have spent their budget on Springwatch and oops nearly forgot the Olympics are coming up that will cost a lot to cover.

Give Alfie a big hug and kiss from me and I hope the gales don't wash you into the sea, don't want you stuck like the Riverdance.

Thanks Kathy,

I am glad one of us finds the list useful, I still miss programmes.

Ann :egghead:
