Message Boards

I wonder why they even have message boards, as no-one seems to acknowledge the viewers concerns. I don't even know why they have an e-mail address as no seems to care what we think.

I agree with ukgoldman. It was those schedules that made us wish we had ukgold and once we had it it was a frequently watched channel. Now it's hardly ever on.

I totally agree with the posters on this subject. Do any of you remember when UK Gold first launched? It was fantastic - it had a proper schedule each day and was more like a traditional TV channel... For example, a programme would be on every Monday at 7.00 (say Terry and June), then every Tuesday at 7.00 would be something else (say Are You Being Served)... it featured predominantly 70s and 80s shows (what I consider to be GOLD) and also had classic children's shows first thing in the morning and again around teatime... I honestly think UKTV has enough different channels that they could dedicate one of the others to their new acquisitions (Christine, Dancing with Stars etc) and re-launch UK Gold as the channel that the actual viewers are asking for (tell the marketing people to stick their demographic research where the sun doesn't shine)....

Looking through the messgae board, a lot of people have the same opinion of Gold (ie Not happy), myself included, so would'nt it be nice if someone from the channel would actually take the time and trouble to explain whats going on with Gold. After all we make the effort.

I know a lot of people ARE happy with the channel but for those of us who are not can we please have some sort of recognition to our questions.

I know what your talking about i personally hate only fools. but loved thin blue line and dinnerladies until ukgold showed them to death. There are a lot of good old shows that a lot of people miss that dont get shown and as for showing american shows its ridiculous the channel is UKGOLD not americagold if they want to show american shows they should start a spin off channel

i know every word to dinnerladies,only fools,and keeping up appearances!!

Please stop showing them to death!!!

More Hi De Hi,steptoe and are you being served please!

I too am fed up with UKGold but mainly because of the constant repeats. Yes, I know UKGold is obviously just that BUT why does such as Casualty have to be constantly rerun? The current episodes with Bex rape etc has been shown twice if not three times in succession. Casualty has been going for YEARS so why are we only shown very few of the series? Personally I can't stand Dallas but I appreciate others do and as for Dads Army, Steptoe and son and that dreadful Gimme,Gimme,Gimme least said the better. There are a wealth of older programmes that can be shown but UKGold subjects it's falling viewers to the same tired format and shows that they have shown since its conception. ANY YES please can someone from UKTV (GOLD) afford us the courtesy of replying to our queries? we want answers not tired repeats. IVE us some 'new' old gold not the rubbish we are constantly subjected to.

Ah to beat me to it. I'm totally confused by the direction of UK Gold. First we had this Christine programme and now Dancing with the Stars. What's this all about then? What happened to it's original remit? I adore Doctor Who btw- but what is the revived series doing on UK Gold?
