Five Reviews

I just had to bring this up channel 5 has to be the worst channel ever on terrestrial TV since it's launch by the spice girls in 1997 it has just totally pissed me off. The reasons to hate the channel 1) Keith chegwin nude in “naked jungle”. (This program sparked a whole ton of complaints) 2) Really bad ...  Read the complete review

When channel 5 first came out they promissed lots of top quality movies evry night and great quality shows like Friedns, and the Simpsons, but instead they show things like, Oprah, Family Affairs, Bodies of evidence, Home and away, arrest and trial. Not to mention the top quality film they promised, The Last Don 2, and they said there would be ...  Read the complete review

Those like me, who have a penchant for young beautiful teen series, despite the protests of my friends, will have been sorry to have missed Young Americans. It was the only thing I have tuned in for week after week, despite being amidst the usual pile of tripe on Channel Five’s Saturday evening schedule. Those who also ...  Read the complete review

BYE BYE GUYS!!!First of all i must make clear that this is not a review. Now that the show is over, it is impossible for me to go back 11 years and to judge a series which i combine with all of my teenage years! I admit that the last couple of seasons were awful.They could not go on any longer, it was too silly. But i remember the enthousiasm ...  Read the complete review

Please could somebody tell me how comes channel 5 is still going they rely on sex deprived men to watch there very tame and tacky porn at night and the occasional crap meaningless footie match every couple of months i can,t think of one good thing ive heard said about it i think they need to do more films (real ones) and less low budget porn, soap ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be the worst TV channel in the world .. the fils rarly get higher thn three stars and thats pushing it. The Core a program which presents young kids programs must have cost about 50p to make the most expensive thing theres a laptop which is there own probably. There soaps are the most boring things ever .... if you were bed ridden ...  Read the complete review

When Channel 5 announced they were dropping Days from their daytime schedule over 200,000 fans were distraught. US soap fans are seen as people who watch "cheesy" soaps with nothing better to do. Well, we are just as dedicated and passionate as US soaps as some are about Corrie or Eastenders. Days failed due to no promotion from the ...  Read the complete review

Channel 5 is, in my opinion, generally a great channel....this is assuming you catch it before 9pm. Otherwise you'll be lumbered with porn all night. (Each to their own though!) When Channel 5 started a few years back now, it generally wasnt looked upon very highly. Having said that, I dont know what all the fuss is about - I think ...  Read the complete review

RE: Days of our lives Two days ago, the lovely Princess Greta, Victor and Angela were all shot at the princess' coronation (!!!). Yesterday, I (like thousand of other viewers) tuned into Channel 5 to find out who lived, who died, and who got caught - only to discover a horrible sight ..... Burke's Law. Five minutes ...  Read the complete review

I don't really know what to think about Channel 5. I'm glad I have it but I don't have much need for it. When it first came out in 1997 our area wasn't able to receive it. That was a big deal then as since it was new, everyone seemed to want it. Over the last 2 years out picture improved. It was watchable but ...  Read the complete review

I happen to agree that Channel 5 is mostly a load of rubbish full of the most unlikely programmes available. However such shows as The Mole (a personal favourite of mine which unfourtunately has only one episode left to go until the series finishes. Please bring it back for a new series Mr. or Mrs. Channel 5) at 8 on a Friday evening give the ...  Read the complete review

Not every-one can get it but those that can don't want it. There are many words to describe this channel(c**p being one of them). Apart from "the mole" and the occasional decent film the majority of programmes are total and utter garbage, unless you enjoy endless shows about strippers, prostitutes or the like. ...  Read the complete review

When Channel 5 started a few years back, it didnt take it long to become the laughing stock of television, it was always the butt of comedians and other T.V shows. Well as far as I am aware they have sorted out their transmission problems and is available to most of the country now. Since the start of the new year though things have taken a great ...  Read the complete review

Since channel 5 launched just a few years ago, it’s been hard for them not to show porn. Usually around 4 times a week, channel 5 make poor television programmes which they claim to be either “Documentaries,” or some other respectable type of programme, in fact, what they are producing is an excuse to show pornography on network ...  Read the complete review

Channel Five has always set remarkably low standards in entertainment and has consistently achieved them. Channel Five's program planners seem to have a one track mind and that's a dirt track. Their late night programs only appeal to a certain age and the movies they show are always of a low rating. Channel Five could of have ...  Read the complete review

It would seem that everyone and their dog think that Channel 5 air nothing but filth and is completely useless. I have to disagree, as C5 air programs that the other networks wouldn't consider. They fund alternative material with topics and opinions that fall through the cracks at BBC et al. I can remember when the network was conceived as a ...  Read the complete review

I am the type of person who only likes to watch 'quality' television programmes. The type that we got in the 80's and early 90's. Before SKY television and Cable, the terrestrial channels provided decent entertainment. BBC1/2 ITV and Channel 4 were good. Although they were not brilliant, they were good and provided us ...  Read the complete review

There has been a big uproar from people where I live, because there is a big amount of porn, or sexually explicit films. Many of the younger, and immature people in the school think that it is absolutely fabulous that they can now watch this on terrestrial television. I think that there are many very serious objections that need ...  Read the complete review

Channel 5 first appeared on our screens at the end of March 1997. In my view it was a bit exciting getting a new channel. In our house we only had the 4 boring ones, as my parents were't really TV people and had no interest in Sky television. So for months before the channel was due to launch people were going around all the houses ...  Read the complete review

So channel 5 what is the matter with it? All channels have advantages and disadvantages about them. It is a free channel so why complain it is better to have it that go without as something good may come up. Some good points about it are that there are news bulletins every hour so the channel is very informative I you want to hear about ...  Read the complete review
