When we agreed with P that we would get Sky I was looking forward to the 24/7 news. As it turns out CNN is still a pile of junk but between Sky News (all that red gets old fast) and News 24 (noticed how many of their female presenters are blonde? Not that there is anything wrong with blonde) it’s not too bad. But Dave is perfect. It’s like so much of my favourite stuff distilled into one smooth package – I don’t even mind the ads. Right now it’s 8:05 am on a Sunday, I’m working and TOTP2 is on in the background – ideal for what I’m doing (mind you, all the miming is a bit weird). And Top Gear? My girls sat and watched a couple of programs – they love it. (hasn’t the accident aged Hammond! I suppose it would though). Anyway, on the cheapest Sky package Dave is by far the best channel for me.
I like Dave. We don’t watch that much TV but when we do, there’s usually something on that channel which is watchable. Of course, it’s endless repeats but at least they repeat the good stuff (BBC – take note!)
And yes, Richard Hammond is looking rather haggard these days and I’m not sure what’s going on with his hair but I still would ;-)
I bet his wife has a stick to beat the women away :)
