Hmmmm ... I wasn't terribly sure of it even as I was posting it. What I'm really thinking of is a channel, broadcast on BSB only, that committed to showing re-runs of the likes of Dr Who and Blakes Seven and presumably other stuff as well. This is what had me (unsuccessfully as it turned out) trying to persuade my mum to get a squariel. After the creation of BSkyB, the merged service was showing those old shows and continues to do so on UK Gold.
If it wasn't UK Gold, can anyone remember which of the Magellan channels it was?
