Thanks,Ann.some of the mentioned progs will make a welcome respite from the footie,esp as the weather forecast seem a little iffy for the forthcoming week.
 
Hi Christine,

I thought it looked a bit bare after the last 3 weeks, even a few more repeated series would have given an alternative to football.

I would love to get into their archives and see if there are any nature programmes gathering dust in the basement or they have all been binned or given to the new channels.

Give Alfie a big hug please, long time since I saw him

Ann :flowers: :gn:
 
Just a gratuitous post to log my appreciation of these threads (especially now we have a "new" second-hand tv, collected from Preston today ... I very seldom watch tv, but when I do having access to this info is helpful.
 
Hi Sig,

Thanks for your comments, like you I don't watch much tv as I spend most of my time on the net. Good to know someone else will find the diary useful I write it and still forget to record programmes so be careful.

Strange coincidence buying the set in Preston, it is a small world.

Ann :bounce: :flowers: :egghead:
