Favourite Terrestrial Channel

Out of BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, which is your favourite TV channel?

I think Channel 4 have come a long way, no doubt thanks to big brother, and I have thoroughly enjoyed some recent viewing of the channel. It's obvious they have made some huge investments, and Friday night on the channel is unmissable. The only snag is the amount of adverts at peak viewing times, it can get out of order.

What are your thoughts... ?

Terrestrial channel? What are these devilish things you speak of?
If it weren't for annoying adverts I would say ITV as it has put out some class programming like Touch of Frost and Inspector Morse. Lets not look at what they have done to F1 though

Too much of the good stuff put out by ITV is very old. No less enjoyable for that, but it does indicate a lack of new ideas which in my view is the reason why the overall quality of ITV has plummetted in recent years. I hardly watch it at all now, and frankly am surprised when I remind myself that my favourite programme on ITV - Taggart - is not actually on BBC1!

BBC1, on the other hand, I am very impressed with. Waking the Dead is totally superb, 55 Degrees North is very good and shows tremendous promise, and the quality of its football coverage is still unbeatable, although there is sadly too little of it. Even old shows like Changing Rooms have been successfully made over - I watched it last night and surprised myself by really enjoying it.
