I agree with you all, repeat, repeat, if it was not for the live sport, I would consider having sky taken away, when you see the prices of houses on trading up etc, you soon realise just how old they are . Please let us have some new ones!!!!!

Maybe we are moaning at the wrong people.

The Hosts haven't made any comments on our thoughts and we certainly know what type of programmes we want to see more of so who do we have to complain to to get something done:(

I NOW only watch UK Style if there is nothing else on any of the other channels and then there are times when you just want something none taxing to watch and UK Style is your best bet.

Do the other "UK" channels eg. Food and Living have so many repeats too? I don't watch them.

In answer to the last persons comments yes there are a lot of repeats on UK Food, UK Bright Ideas, UK Gold and UK Drama and Living TV in fact most of these channels are made up of repeats! UKTV is jointly owned by the BBC and Flextech Television, a division of Telewest Communications as shown at the following link: [link] This explains the number of repeats as the BBC are joint owners! That is why no Channel 4 productions are screened on UK Style. Perhaps someone should suggest to Channel 4 that they should start a digital/satellite channel to rival UK Style this may encourage more UKTV productions on UK Style and less bought in repeated BBC and Channel 5 productions?

Another thought has come from the fact that on a recent day off I had BBC1 on in the daytime and at lunch time Trading Up was on. When the programme started with Colin and Justin I realised I had seen the episode 3 times before on UK Style! If this is not a cheek by the BBC I dont know what isnt. Its not SKY or NTL we should be complaining about its the BBC for riping up off! What do we pay our TV licence for! The Beeb are making money from showing repeats on commercial channels on the UKTV network and have the cheek to show repeats on Terrestrial TV also and charge a licence fee for it that you have to pay! Also the wonderfull freeview that they keep promoting every programme break on BBC1 and BBC2 has UK History and UK Bright Ideas on it and UK Bright Ideas is made up of repeats of UKTV productions that were on UK Style and UK Food! UK History is made up of repeated BBC1 and BBC2 productions! We should lobby the BBC to scrap the licence fee for showing all these repeated programmes!

Well, I have to agree with all of you, I watched UK style whilst off sick for six weeks about 1.5 years ago and the same programmes are still being shown and about 3 times a day.

Please can we have some new ones!!!!!

The absolutely most worst, unimaginative, unoriginal programme ever to have been made has to be 'Hot Property' currently screening on UKStyle. That awful presenter, the couple who look at 3 properties, they then have to guess the prices of each of the properties and then, wait for it, they don't actually even intend buying the property and that awful presenter says with glee at the end of each episode,' Well that's today's Hot Property!' I cannot stand it and cannot believe the pointless format and I watch it only to have a laugh when there is nothing else on. This show is another example of awful endless repeats that are available on UKStyle. I have to say that one of the better programmes is 'Under Offer' but that too is now being repeatedly repeated and has lost its edge!
