They saaaaay on the BBC Canada website (right on the first page because I'm sure they know exactly why people are there) that it will be back in Sept, check your schedules then, folks.

I think they're broke. Have you looked at how often Antiques Roadshow is on in a day?

5 hours a week of Cash in the Attic, Steve? Try 5 hours a DAY! We're not getting Cash in the Attic just at the moment, I think, but various rough equivalents.

Check out the current schedule for whenever you look:

http://www.bbccanada.com/schedule.html

Right now we're showing Top Gear at midnight ... and at 2 a.m. and 5 p.m. ... Holmes on Holmes 3 times a day (and that's Canadian, as are Junk Brothers and others) ... Fantasy Homes somewhere I don't know how many times a day ... multiple The Unsellables ... it's utter garbage, and how their licence allows it, I don't know.

If I *were* still paying for it, I wouldn't be!

Maybe BBC UK should take Canadas lead..............25yrs of Eastenders has a bad aging effect on people.

But then I suppose they'll replace it with another 5hrs a week of Cash In The Attic.........*puts head in hands*

Think I'll emigrate to Canada. lol

We get UKTV, which you have to pay extra for, we are have pay TV, supplied with a dish on the roof, not cable, The only reason we have the extra channels if for East Enders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale. So if they take away those shows and Dr Who we will have the extra channels taken off.

I feel your loss Janey, so sad. This will also put you further behind us in OZ. We are about 3 months behind UK I think. I look forward to these small pleasures and to have them taken away would be horrid.

I'm going home for some quiche, and yes, a glass of red wine. Gotta make the quiche first, unfortunately. No.1 was supposed to get the eggs, but he probably hasn't bothered to read my email, so now he'll be all put-upon that he has to dress and walk to the corner for them.

So while I'm gone, you can organize yourselves to restage Tania's - that's it, Tania - birthday party for me. I don't know who was there at all, other than Tania and Sean and presumably Max, let alone what happened, other than her getting blotto possibly because Max spiked her drink, so you'll have to sort out the script and the cast and assign the roles without my help, I'm afraid!

I think Hayley's been watching too many westerns.

You heard about the mean-looking three-legged dog that went into the saloon and ordered a beer?

Whaddaya doin' in here, three-legged dawg? asked the bartender.

The three-legged dog replied: I'm lookin' fer the man that shot mah Paw.

Canadians don't have villas in the Maldives, sigh, DET.

We all have oceanfront properties in Miami. Or Malibu. Depending on which coast we're on.

I note that East Enders doesn't go on hiatus in the UK -- does it??

Well that's just fine, SueMaid.

Kind of like "your grandmother's up a tree" then.



Shall I tell the joke? ;)

Ah, but isn't everyone jetting off to their villas in the Maldives for July and August? At least that's probably what the TV Executives are up to, and as they are 'normal' people, expect everyone else to be doing the same.
