Hmm well I am not sure if it is new as such...but it is kind of based on the old Noel Edmonds thing...it is what I would call surreal TV!

OOh but the channel does also show live Bingo...which is like watching something from the 70's with cardboard sets and a large plastic beachball perched next to the presenter (I do believe it is supposed to be a bingo ball...though am not convinced!)

And to think if you had satellite TV (Express Vu or Star Choice) you'd never get such high quality local access shows and/or the local City Council meeting proceedings.

Another TV type link that does have some UK shows on it. :thumbsup:

http://tvshack.net/tv_shows/

Ashes to Ashes (the follow-up to Life on Mars) is up to episode four (although episode eight was shown in the UK last night) so there is some semi-recent stuff.

Cheers
Steve
