TV
Tonight my friends have been teaching me a little about TV. It is absolutely amazing and absolutely stupid at the same time. My friend mentioned something about BBC 3 and I laughed so hard, and remarked that it is actually called ITV, and then he revealed there actually IS a BBC 3 I did not know about!
There is also a channel called E4 which I did know about (apparently part of Channel 4). Holly Oaks is on Channel 4, but then straight afterwards the episode for tomorrow is on E4. So you’re like one day ahead of yourself (pointless).
It gets more confusing though. Apparently there is an E4+1 which shows everything that is on E4, but an hour later. So if you watch Holly Oaks on E4+1 you’re 23 hours ahead of yourself rather than 24 hours ahead. Or is that 25 hours ahead?
Unfortunately there is not an E4-1 where you can watch stuff early.
Anyway, if you have something called “on demand” it doesn’t matter because you can miss everything and watch it all later.
Usually I just put my TV on, and if there is not World’s Wildest Police Chases immediately on my screen I get scared and turn it off again.

You are totally right there.. If WWPC is not on I get bored, Sheriff John Bunnell is so funny… “This criminal is about to get justice… American style!” At this point a train/aeroplane/lorry/lion will then run over said criminal and the camera cuts to the sheriffs now gleeful grin.
“The Police must be armed… with knowledge”.

I thought I would answer this little query too: “So if you watch Holly Oaks on E4+1 you’re 23 hours ahead of yourself rather than 24 hours ahead. Or is that 25 hours ahead?”
The answer to that is false… No one that watches Hollyoaks is ahead of anyone else. Scientific tests carried out underground in Geneva prove that people that watch Hollyoaks are prone to severe retardation of the face and brain. This leaves them on average 3 hours behind the human race.
This is how bored I am.

You have not gone into detail about the on demand or V+ (or sky+)
