Not one of them interests me.

I think people can use http://tvguide.digitalspy.co.uk/dgx/wbl.dll?h=65 and their EPG's, atm it seems you are just listing anything you can find on the EPG lol.

No i'm Not!

Listing a few highlights that's all, trying to stay in free view range, not trying to keep anyone happy.

Im watching Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

UK Gold isnt on Freeview im just nit picking as usual lmao

Just noticed, theres a Doctor Who night on UK Gold, watching it on +1 now, its series 1 (depending on how you look at it, it can be classed as series 27), with Christopher Eccleston playing the Doctor.

Also, anyone with Sky, may want to check out Football First on Sky Sports 1 from 8pm onwards.

From 10pm onwards, they have extended highlights of every Premier League game played today, all available intereactively via the red button. You choose the game you want to watch.

Reason I am pointing this out, is because Sky Sports is free to all Sky subscribers at the moment.

i just watched x factor with the bird, and unfortunately suffering the presence that is, Ant & Dec
