History+1, where History repeats itself.

Ye. Seriously, I'm not a big History fan myself (can ya tell?) mainly because it's gone over and over again. There's a plethora of programmes, particularly on the BBC, that tell the same story in a slightly different way. And we've heard it all before.

And if we're not doing history documentaries we're trying to re-create it with an endless number of "period dramas". I detest them yet the whole country gets hooked (brainwashed) into thinking Downton Abbey is some majestically unmissable TV programme.

PS. Sky Atlantic

Seen it on SD Channels of Comedy Central and Comedy Central Extra.

No news from insider since last week - I did not even know HISTORY +1 was launching today on Virgin Media until I saw it added today.

Its useful for when you can't record from History 1 due to recording clashes.

My joke about History repeating itself would of gone down much better if History actually showed History programmes

Hi mb. Firstly fair play for listening to criticism and changing your update posts. I didn't particularly think it was necessary, but obviously some did.

Secondly, am I right in thinking the last info you had was that there were no plans for further channel launches?

A quick look at the Sky Atlantic schedule for this evening:

9.00pm - Vegas - A 1960's period drama set in Vegas
11.00pm - Oliver Stones Untold.....History Of The United States - A look at the administration of JFK

I recon you'd hate that channel if we had it :D

Cheers

Grim

Couldn't agree more, my post was a tongue-in-cheek dig at coulsontom following his moan re History +1 and period dramas.

Cheers

Excellent, I'm encouraged by today's launch then, if it's come out of the blue.

I think the deal was signed sometime before May 17th.

Is H2, Bio, Nat Geo Wild, and CI now on the L Pack???

Banshee is apparently pretty decent.:(
Be aware though, if anyone who may watch it has a weak stomach, I am told the violence is quite graphic and very realistic too, and not just in terms of gore!

MB, if these channels do launch on the L pack, what do you think the chances of the HD equivalents launching on XL pack? I know you have not posted anything from your insiders, but just wondering what your views might be from your past experiences?
I am quietly confident (but am rather ignorant of these things) we might get them soonish, I am mostly hoping for Nat Geo Wild HD though.
