Channel 5 still rubbish

I taped a programme on the first day of Channel 5 operation, later I tried to watch - couldn't get the 5 off the corner so I didn't bother.

While channel hopping last night accidently hit 5 and no logo - great I thought no more logos - they have seen the light - advert ended logo appeared I turned over.

Channel 5 is ran by MORONS

Every channel does this with their logos now. Sky One are now even adding "all new" to theirs! They are all getting bigger and bigger every year - soon we will have giant logos on the screen and a tiny little picture in the corner!!

To be fair to Ch5, they are better than many of the other channels around. They still show the odd ropey film or programme but there are some jems from time to time.

And they also use anamorphic widescreen sometimes.

Well C5 were doomed to low numbers of viewers as the average viewer just ignores those channels.

If their rumoured motoring programme with Tiff Needell comes off I'll just have to email bomb them with complaints
