Final Destination (BBC1)
I set this up to record off BBC1 last night, and when I check it this morning I find they replaced it with Murial's Wedding  
Stupid idiots, why do they have to replace things at the last minute

I had a vision that told me that would happen - that's why I watched Soccer Special

Yeah, not sure why they replaced it to be honest - they said because of current news events.. but I couldn't think of anything in the film that really related to anything currently in the news...
Any ideas?

Re: Final Destination (BBC1)
The usual reason is that there is something inthe film too close to a major real event so they think the film would be insensitive. But that film would always be insensitve to many - it's the whole point of it - how many odd ways can someone be bumped off.
What gets me more is when previous programs overrun, usually due to some sporting event, youve set your videa, and thus get a load of rubbish at the start and miss the ending

Re: Final Destination (BBC1)
Darn, I wanted to watch Muriel's Wedding! I heard the continuity announcer talking about it over the closing credits of The Wedding Singer but when I checked the EPG and it wasn't there I assumed I misheard about the day/time.
Ah well.

Oi, it's a classic! (Well, Mrs T says so, and she's the film studies graduate  ) Actually we have watched it once before. It has a good soundtrack, plenty of Abba, and I'm in an Abba mood at the moment.

Re: Final Destination (BBC1)
The trouble with the sound track is that people keep joining in with it, at which point it stops being abba and starts being karaoke......
