Re: Five Go To Rehab
Fine with me, but as I just said that I agree with Nigel then it won't be much of a quote.
If I could live here on this secret island always and always and always, and never grow up at all, I would be quite happy

Re: Five Go To Rehab
Well I finally got around to watching this, this weekend and must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I loved the way they over emphasised the original characters, with flashbacks, allowing them to exaggerate their future shortcomings, with tongue firmly in cheek.
I got a little emotional towards the end, when (*SPOILER ALERT*) they showed what we all know, that she is still loved, especially by children. Very nice touch by the producers/writers, showing a love and respect for our great lady.

Re: Five Go To Rehab
Thanks for the heads up. I'll try and remember to record Dorset tonight.

Re: Five Go To Rehab
Does anyone know if you can get Gold on Freeview?

Re: Five Go To Rehab
No, sorry, Anita. Gold is only available with Sky. Channel 110. We have freeview at the caravan and it's not one of the options.

Re: Five Go To Rehab
Okay - thanks, Julie. I don't watch much TV so I never know which channels we can get on Freeview.

Re: Five Go To Rehab
This should help, although not all channels are available in some (usually remote) areas. Alternatively, look at your tv EPG.Anita Bensoussane wrote:Okay - thanks, Julie. I don't watch much TV so I never know which channels we can get on Freeview.

Thanks, Zar Quon and Nigel! I'll watch the programme on YouTube when I've got more time.

Re: Five Go To Rehab
I am the exactly the same. In fact my TV has not been switched on for about a month now. I simply prefer either reading, surfing the net or listening to music.Anita Bensoussane wrote:Okay - thanks, Julie. I don't watch much TV so I never know which channels we can get on Freeview.

Re: Five Go To Rehab
I don't very often watch live TV, apart from the news. On the odd occasion when I sit down with a spare few minutes I browse the list of free channels and find there's nothing I want to watch. Programmes that I might be interested in, such as Terry and June which is being broadcast daily at the moment, are usually on at inconvenient times. I did catch part of an interesting documentary the other week about the building of a skyscraper in London, but we had company half way through, so the TV went off.
I did watch the Antiques Roadshow on I-player the other day - the bit with the Enid Blyton letters, which was good. I rely on fellow Forumites to keep me informed of any interesting programmes I might want to see.

Re: Five Go To Rehab
Ha ha, yes, I know, we do have one, I just didn't think to set it going. Also, as it takes a while to put it on the right channel etc., it might have looked a bit rude to say to the visitor 'hang on a minute, while I record the programme you interrupted'
