BBC Three

BBC Three is one of the many differing channels that the BBC has to offer, with the new age of a million squillion zillion channels popping up all over the place. Whereas other channels may feature older BBC programmes, or pick popular programmes from a main channel and show them back to back, BBC Three tends to be a sort of testing ground in many ways to see if a show is successful and could make it onto the main stage of BBC 1 or 2. Shows such as Gavin and Stacy started out on BBC Three, as did many 'cool' docu-style programmes.

BBC3 is a digital TV channel that has been running for a few years now. It's supposedly the BBC's outlet for new drama, talent, comedy and films. The channel runs from 7pm to 4am, sharing its bandwidth with Cbeebies in the day. The channel is famed for showing almost exclusive British content. The best thing about the channel is the way it showcases new comedy. Little Britain began on this channel, with the much more risqué series 1. As the shows get more and more famous they are brought over to BBC 2 and eventually the mainstream BBC1. Another good thing about the channel is the way it works hand in hand with BBC1.

BBC Three is a TV channel that's available on digital TV such as Sky, Freeview and Freesat. It broadcasts daily between 7pm and 5am. The channel is primarily aimed at younger viewers - from late teens to early 20s and focusses more on comedy than any other genre. As with all BBC Channels, you won't find any paid adverts. Instead, the transition time between programmes is often taken up by a programme called 60 Seconds which shows snippets of the news in just one minute (hence the name). My favourite programmes on BBC Three are the animated US imports - Family Guy and American Day... they're the reason I watch it - the new season of Family Guy in ...  Read the complete review
