    Is this the same channel that you Brits get the BBc news on? There is a show on now called Changing rooms. It's a show where they do remodleing. Kind of like Bob Villas show here in the USA.

    Sounds like it Lilacs -

    BTW: there was a classic changing rooms the other week this designer decided to take a really nice, light and airy room and paint it a very deep red and decorate it very gothic, looked awful if your not into all that - the owner took one look and burst into tears

    Angharad, I think this is the one you are refuring to. They are painting the room red!

    Was one of the rooms painted green?

    Lilacs,

    Cant remember Lilacs but I'm not sure how far behind they show programs I only caught the end when she came back in, they do quite often paint rooms red, purple etc - also one thing you'll notice after watching it for a while is that Carol Smilie is one of the most annoying people on TV!

    Does this channel have comedy too? So far it's and interesting channel. I might stay tuned in for a while.

    The BBC has done some great comedies, not sure which ones you'll get

    Look out for:

    Ab Fab

    Men behaving badly (VERY un-politically correct but very funny)

    Alan Partridge

    The Office

    Older ones that still get shown alot:

    Fawlty towers

    Only fools & horses

    There are others but cant think of them

    It sounds like I may be watching this channel quit a bit. Right now is a program called House Invaders. I like shows like remodleing shows. Even more so if they involve renovating old houses.

    There is a show here called this old house where they did renovating to an 18th century house.

    BTW, Englisman, I even get sports channels from the UK, so I can see your footbla games.

    More comedies:

    Are you being Served?

    Keeping up Appearances.

    and shows that were discontinued:

    The Benny Hill Show-[I wish they would bring it back!]

    Monty Python's Flying Circus-[ I miss this one too!]

    I think Coupling is shown on BBC America.

    Think of Friends, but much ruder.
