FiveNewest Review: ... and involving show the mentalist, the always bizarre but captivating CSI and the excellent prison break. Channel 5 could be criticised for not showing enough british dramas but is has to weigh up the cost implications and secondly, I have yet to see any crime dramas deliver with the same quality and consistency as the mentioned u.s dramas. It now competes on very equal grounds with the ... more More Channel TV channels

I remember when five first hit the airwaves, it launched with the big coup of having secured the rights to the England vs Poland match. The picture quality was terrible due to the very limited bandwidth they had and I questioned whether this was dead before it had even begun but after some very bland programmes and thankfully after the hiccups, things have improved markedly. So what does channel 5 offer? during the morning and early afternoon it offers the usual mix of talk shows, cooking programmes and this is not something of any interest to me. However the night time channel 5 really is an entirely different proposition as for football fans like myself, ... Read the complete review

Channel Five is quite new in the world of TV but it is fair to say it is my favourite original terrestrial channel. Channel Five is famous for its brilliant US crime dramas from CSI to NCIS, Law & Order and previously House. Channel Five delivers what other channels never have which is to bring great crime drama straight out of America giving viewers some great entertainment which is what the yanks do the best. Channel Five also do some Australian soap operas like Neighbours and Home & Away, neither to my liking but they keep these for daytime viewing. Five also does some really good documentaries like Mean Machines, Big Bigger Biggest ... Read the complete review

Five is a TV channel that is the fifth terrestrial analogue TV channel. It was launched in 1997 we did not get this channel till we had sky installed as like many people our TV Ariel could not pick up channel five. As well as being the fifth and final analogue channel it was the only analogue channel to have its logo on the screen at all times, though this was removed in 2002 to return to are screen in 2007. For me the logo does not both me and I get use to it and don't see it, but for my husband he hates these on the screen as he always says they cover what he wants to see. So what's on channel 5 Well I had to look in to this a bit as I ... Read the complete review

Launched in 1997, originally called channel 5 after changing its name in 2002, Five is a great British television program available on free view - the cheapest way to view this channel. Five shows lots of films as well as a number of TV shows. To name a few (since 2002) - Home and away Law and order Prison break Greys Anatomy CSI House Trisha Goddard Neighbours Deal or no deal and many more. Five isn't one of favorite TV channels, especially after losing Prison break to sky which was arguably its best TV show and certainly the most popular through season 1 and 2. I don't think this channel is worth ... Read the complete review

The year was 1997, and back then, there were only 4 tv channel on our screens, but that was until Channel 5 came about. However, even though it was a new channel, not everyone in the UK are able to recieve channel five, and it doesnt even come with an cable company, so for some of you, it is unfortunate. Over the years, one thing that I have noticed about channel five is that is broadcasts making shows that come from other countries, and it is very rare that there is a long running british show shown on this channel, after all the channels soap, family affiars got cancelled. Some of my favourite shows on this channel have to be the american show, CSI, and all ... Read the complete review
