 | 6pm scifi? I remember how people bemoan the demise of BBC2's 6pm scifi slot... well, I was looking through the good old Radio Times earlier, and noticed the new Virgin 1 channel which is on Freeview - and they seem to be showing episodes of Star Trek daily! I don't know what plans they have for that (and it's not at 6pm either, but even so) so I don't know if they are intending to broaden that out to more general scifi, but it's a start. |

| they messed up the family guy airings on BBCThree too, at one point they were on at 10pm - then 11 then 12 then for the last few episodes last year they were on at 12:20. Although now its fixed for the new airings so all is good. The guys who organise these times must have mental problems, tv is crazy these days. |

| From the clips I've seen of it, it seems to primarily be about flatulence... but anyway! |

| Theres also talks of Virgin trying to aquire the first run rights to Battlestar Galactica Season 4. Which is odd, because 1) Sky customers can watch Virgin 1 anyway!!!  2) Less than 2 million people will properly watch it.  and 3) the "die hard" fans would have properly seen a 'preview' anyway!   And besides, you can't have a proper 6 pm slot without heavily editied Farscape and Buffy.  Oh, and Seven Days. Anyone remeber that? Kind of dissappeared after about 13 episodes!!  |

 The problem is that because sky one withdrew itself from virgin there is a drop in the number of people watching bsg, and that is bad for universal. So i guess they will do anything for more viewers. | |

| Well I'm certainly not paying out loads of fancy Ls a month just to watch it a few weeks before it is available on DVD... |
