How Do They Get Away With It?

[Caran]

The tv channel Yesterday was showing Brazil with Michael Palin from
8.00 am this morning straight through to 8.00 pm tonight.
How do they justify this?

[Mamyalynne]

Basically they are just a rehash channel, showing stuff from archives.

Mamya there is rehash and repeat rehash. The rest of the week there is a better variety of repeats. To put the same programme on for 12 hours is taking the biscuit in my opinion.
Only time I use the channel is for Coast.

[Mamyalynne]

Fair enough, maybe they went on a coach trip and just left it running for the day ;-)

Who do they have to justify themselves to?

[jno]

oh, I thought you meant the movie. It's just like the box-set binges people go on, sitting down to watch an entire series.

[Hopkirk]

On Dave you can watch Top Gear, and none of the presenters have a grey hair between them, the shows are so old.

[Mamyalynne]

It's like all night parties, the nivelty soon wears off.

[Arksided]

Hopkirk, I enjoy watching the re-runs of top gear, they still make me laugh.

Hi there Caran,
It's cheap.It's the same as Money Business (which I like) it's on at weekends for up to 9 hours(straight).It has put me off of the programme entirely.

///Only time I use the channel is for Coast///.

Not going to be a problem then, is it?

[ummmm]

I take it it's not the same episode on loop?

[Mamyalynne]

Nivelty = Novelty , oops

[tonyav]

Whenever I see Yesterday on the TV guide it's usually World At War, used to be on years ago narrated by Laurence Olivier.

[OldBather]

Monkey Business,Sorry.

[Mamyalynne]

So...

[Mamyalynne]

[Baldric]

Well that's brought it down to Earth with a resounding bang, aint it!

[anneasquith]

Always end with a song . !!!!!!!

A lot of the channels seem to do this. Try other channels if you don't like MP! xx
