Advantages: A good selection of BBC documentaries

Disadvantages: Repeative scheduling

This channel is pretty cool! It's format is based on entirely the BBC's very good list of fly on the wall documentary programmes over the last 20 years. It has started to import programmes from Australia like 'The Learners' which is an Australian version of Driving School!

Yes, the scheduling is a bit pants at times and they tend to repeat the repeats but everyone has a favourite documentary or fly on the wall programme. They are found on this channel!

It is not a dedicated tv channel that you would watch all night. You could catch something interesting from about 7pm to 12pm. It is a channel where you would tune in to watch something for 30 mins whilst nothing really exciting was on the main terrestrial channels.

We love reliving the great events like Ray on the Camp Clamper; Mr Trebus on the Life of Grime; Michael Palin on his travels around the world; the Boy David getting plastic surgery for the umpteeth time; Marleen on Sylvanian Waters moaning about her family whilst reaching for another fag; Ruby Wax on her look at American culture; Jezza Spake on Airport insulting his passengers; or as recent as this year with all the programmes on Castaway 2000!

It is a very enjoyable channel where you are bound to find something to watch which you've seen before and enjoyed. It is highly recommended.
