BBC Parliament might sound very dull to many people but it is actually very important. It means that we can actually listen and watch our elected representatives and see that they are doing what we elected them to do. You would soon notice if your MP was asleep, for example! If he didn't stand up for what your city or constituency ...  Read the complete review

BBC Parliament is a new channel available to digial viewers, yet funded by all of us through the license-fee. It provides coverage of the all speeches and hearings in the Houses of Parliament, House of Commons etc... It's quite handy if you want to hear parliament-type news first hand, as most broadcasts are live. Examples being new ...  Read the complete review

I like to watch Parliament, just to see how the decision making process is carried out. It can be boring and sometimes the party political sniping quite off putting. However you can see debates which are well constructed and intereting. This kind of television isn't for everyone, but I think it it useful for students and school pupils to know ...  Read the complete review

Here they are. The people running our country. making decisions about our economy, our education system, health service, social security etc etc. No wonder this country is in such a piss poor state! Look at them! Half of them are asleep, the other half look like they view the world through the bottom of a sherry bottle! The ...  Read the complete review

Awww, I felt so sorry for BBC Parliament, what with all the stick it's received so far, I thought it was only fair that I wrote in its defense. The channel offers something you can't find elsewhere on TV - almost continuous coverage of the most important debates happening in the Lords, Commons and select committees. I can ...  Read the complete review

Having sky digital and been into political issues I watch this channel a few times a week. Programming ranges from the House of Commons (where some lively debates and some very good arguments take place.) to the select committees. If you have ever wondered how our system works then this is the channel for you it can be very boring at ...  Read the complete review

This channel is free of charge to anybody with analogue/digital cable, satellite or ON. It is very boring, as all it is is non-stop coverage of Parliament all day long. This is very tedious unless you are really into politics, in which case you'll probably think it's the best channel ever! Overall, this channel is not worth bothering ...  Read the complete review

I am sorry but this has to be one of the most pointless and useless channels ever to be created on cable/sky! Surely there are not any of you out there that would choose to have this channel so i cant understand why cable providers would think that we want want this in our standard package. Politicians are a total waste of time ...  Read the complete review

Well, the BBC is fulfilling it's remit here as a public serveice TV organisation. We now have the unique oppertunity almost world wide of being able to watch parliament through every stage of the game. I hate it most of the time, but sometimes you can sit down and really watch these guys do some serious debating on some serious ...  Read the complete review

THe BBC is spending (some would say wasting) hundreds of millions of licence payer's money on 4 digital channels: BBC Choice, BBC Knowledge, BBC News 24 and BBC Parliament. The most worthy, the most dull, and the least viewed is BBC Parliament, but no doubt the governors of the BBC had a good eye for what would appease their ultimate ...  Read the complete review

This has to be the worst television channel in the world. It is worst than watching paint dry, quite literally. What is the point in watching this televsion channel when all you ever see is politicians acting like children. Especially when all they are going to do is raise the prices on petrol and cigarettes. I mean even I am ckever enough to ...  Read the complete review

Come on BBC!! Who in there right mind is going to sit and watch a load of old past its try and make a decent dissison on what to do? As far as I'm concerned, they have never made any right choices and never will, unless they decide to completly abolish income tax and give us the hard earned money back! cant see it somehow!? ...  Read the complete review

For all you lucky digital viewers, the BBC gives you a unique insight into the workings of the UK parliament. Sadly, this channel comes in audio only, so there are no pictures of our beautiful MP's. This is a shame, as it stop you playing the "Snoozy MP" game. Here you pick an MP each, and if yours goes to sleep first you win! ...  Read the complete review
