Five Reviews

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, ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

This channel was launched in 1997, it's the 5th terrestrial channel in the UK. This is the only terrestrial channel that doesn't get coverage in the whole of the UK and is unavailable on cable. The shows that are on the channel include Australian soaps neighbours (since 2008) and Home and Away, CSI, House Doctor, Zoo Days, The Trisha ...  Read the complete review

Channel 5 started way back in the year 1997, it was rather cheap and tacky put over the years my opinion has started to change. Some of the programs are great for the young chldren, my daughter loves noddy and fifi and the flowerpot men. If you have children and they get up early they will love this section. The sport has also improved on this ...  Read the complete review

Let's face it; we all know that when Channel 5 began in 1997, it had nothing. It was a channel that purely relied on cheap imports, smut and painful attempts at original programmes. It wasn't long before it gained its reputation for the cheap, seedy terrestrial, which was nothing but a complete waste of time. It's a good job it has always been ...  Read the complete review

Will Channel 5 ever big big? I do not know when it was when Channel 5 launched a few years ago with the Spice Girls, but Channel 5 has always been full of rubbish, and have finally decided to do something right and get rid of family affairs (title of programme doesn't even deserve capital letters). Actually I am wrong they did do something right ...  Read the complete review

Possibly some people would have watched the television programme last night on channel 5 (09-05-05) If you did or did not please read on. Hayley Okines is a little princess aged 7, she lives in ...  Read the complete review

When Channel Five first started a few years ago it soon got a reputation of relying on cheap American imports, even cheaper home produced programmes and a regular diet of soft porn films, soaps and repeats to fill its schedules. Not surprisingly, it was dismissed by most people as being a waste of time. However since its re-launch and name change ...  Read the complete review

Let us be truthful-channel 5 has produced a load of rubbish over the first 3 or 4 years of its existence. It showed outdated movies, cheap American soaps and then tried to become more serious by showing poorly made documentaries. However, recently the standard has been increased greatly by new management who have decided to rid themselves ...  Read the complete review

PORN AND LOSTS OF IT! Channel Five should never been given space of British tv! We already have to put up with rubbish from BBC and ITV! All channel 5 so is old films and shows on Lesbians getting there kit off! Channel 5 make you want to pad lock on your childrens tv! It's time to pull the plug on this horrible tv channel! Maybe if they ...  Read the complete review

It's hard to understand why channel 5 gets such bad press, well no, it's not that hard. But whats so good about channel 5 is that like the bbc and itv, it doesn't try to cater for everyone and basically all you do is spend ur time flicking between channels. If I had the choice of only one channel it would be this because you ...  Read the complete review

Ok ppl you want MY opinion here it is. My other one was to voice the opinion of the public with whom i am wel acquainted with. But now I have had enough of all your low ratings and decided to say I am so glad channel 5 exists. If it was not for this channel I would not have had the privilage of watching sunset beach. It was the most funniest soap ...  Read the complete review

Whether you're thinking of the incredible Monty Python "Spam" song or the equally great Skol adverts, you've not got a better way of getting something over than repeating it 4 times in capital letters! Channel 5 is, was, and shall be for all time, thought of as the dirty-film and tacky docusoaps (I caught the end of ...  Read the complete review

Well is it, I don’t know it could be. The point I am trying to make is that nobody watches channel 5 anymore, I don’t think I have watched a program on channel 5 in about 4 years and even then I only watched because I was at a sleepover with teenaged boys who were high on caffeine I will leave what we watched up to your imagination. ...  Read the complete review

Have you noticed how the channels have just got worse and worse? When Channel 5 was unleashed in 1997, this was really the last straw. I really hoped we would get a hugely brilliant channel, with top movies and dramas like the advertising promised us. Obviosuly, the first fault we picked up on was the very poor reception most areas of ...  Read the complete review

Here's what i think of channel 5: CHILDRENS ENTERTAINMENT Not much on, and when something for children is on- it is some pathetic cartoon. SOAPS Lets see theres FAMILY AFFAIRS which is one of the worst soaps in the UK (due to poor acting) and at one stage Channel 5 were airing American soaps such as THE BOLD AND THE ...  Read the complete review

That is how one of the bosses of the channel described it. Does it have these three qualities; does it have any good qualities? Well let’s see… Sex - by this he probably means the usual Friday night soft-porn flick; or the soft porn series ‘Red Show Diary’s’. Whatever he means, its hardly sex. No ...  Read the complete review
