BBC 3 is a fairly new addition to the BBC's group of programmes. It is available to freeview and satellite customersand on my freeview TV, aswell as several others I know it is on channel 7.

BBC 3 is a young, funkier and more risky version of BBC 1. It has a fairly wide variety of shows, however it does not broad cast during the day, only at night.

I like the fact that BBC 3 repeats that days Eastenders programme at 10.00 (most nights, time does change according to schedule). It is a great time to catch up with your favorite soap as sometime I am just not home in time for its earlier showing.

BBC 3 also shows a few good reality TV shows. One of these is don't tell the bride, where a couple who are about to get married go on the TV show and seperate for a couple of weeks while the groom plans a wedding without any input from the bride, he even goes as far as to chose the dress himself, needless to say it is a very dramatic TV show.

BBC 3 also shows the bank of Mum and Dad. A programme where debt riddled youngsters move back home while their parent sort out their finances.

BBC 3 shows a whole host of other programmes such as snog marry avoid and the worlds strictest parents, and the ever popular Gavin and Stacey repeats.

BBC 3 is BBC 1s younger sister! It is to BBC 1 what E4 is to channel 4!
