Took out all but a brief synopsis of the articles, as they get a bit funny about us lifting articles in their entirety. :)

Well yes for most of us on this forum, but for a significant minority of ex patriates, €6 per month is a very small price to pay for their daily soap fix. ;)

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Certainly less than the loss of 'us lifting articles in their entirety'.

Why is ITV sooooo uncool..??...What's wrong with ITV..?

They repeat repeats that have been repeatedly repeated repetitively, over several channels where shows seem to filter through them day by day so they go from ITV1 through ITV4 and then back to the beginning again, with the odd smattering of (lack of) talent shows and "Dial 090xx xxx xxx to vote for this person while you pay money out the bum to us on your phone bill!!!", they used to show some decent and occasionally intellectual entertainment, now most of that resides on Challenge... :-rofl2

The ever more moronic programming in the never ending quests for viewing figures allied to constant dumbing down of content?

The soul of ITV died when the old regional setup was destroyed.

I occasionally watch the Jonathan Ross show and I'm A Celebrity, but that is it. I watch Channel 5 more than ITV these days...

Probably not possible. Anything from the old Southern TV is a rights issue minefield - assuming it even still exists.

The rights have been sold on numerous times since Southern ceased transmissions in 1981. One of the intermediate rights holders chucked out a lot of material less than 15 years ago......
