Those skills may not qualify you as a consultant but there's another profession that they're a good match for. Ever considered politics?

To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge my old friend.

Come come Den, surely you don't just mean Sky Atlantic content? There is more enough quality TV from around the world VM could quite easily get their hands on in future.

Sky have already bought a lot of content which locks out others Harry so unless Virgin starts producing its own content or start wielding their cheque book a fair bit more in the future l cannot see it changing that much.

Den, where have you been these last few days Old Bean? theone2k10 has revealed that VM is doing more deals with Starz.
And VM itself is busy commissioning some new dramas from 50% subsidiary All3Media.

Den, if you reserve judgment for much longer we'll still be waiting for you in the next life. Crack open the diet cola and celebrate VM's enhanced content offerings from the likes of Tru TV, Kingdom and Hayu with more fabulous content from Starz and Fox News just around the corner.

I must be missing something here, i've just had a look at their shows, and ok it's only my opinion, but looks like a load of dross! Where's Game of Thrones, Blue Bloods, Ray Donovan, Billionaire etc etc.........

Well my next life has never been that far way my dear Andrew to start with as being a dodgy old geezer l have never been enamoured by those who talk the talk as plenty can do that as the the proof comes when they walk the walk in my opinion.

Showtime and HBO who you guessed it have a deal with SKY. Although bluebloods is on CBS i think i know it's one of the basic channels in the USA.
Starz did the outstanding Spartacus series and also do ash vs evil dead, outlander amongst other things.

VM certainly have clearly delivered more content options this year. What criteria will you use to say when they are walking the walk?

Oh dear Andrew you are very easily pleased these days as yes there is no denying that a little bit more content has come our way this year but like a swimmer swimming 100 hundred yards there are still 90 yards to swim before one can say they have walked the walk so while you might be easily placated many others have yet to be convinced at this current moment.

Ha ha.  But returning to my question; how will you judge that VM are walking the walk?
