When are you going to give Dalziel and Pascoe a rest? I used to like it but when episodes are coming round for the sixth time or more!! As for the commercial breaks they are far too numerous and far too long. Completely counter productive as I always switch channels and often don't switch back. Very lazy programming

I totally agree with you. Even though I am a huge fan of D&P I posted a message not long ago about Drama & Gold keep showing the same ones over and over again within a few weeks of each other. I really cannot get my head round it, they never used to.
But why do they show the likes of Hart to Hart, Murder She Wrote, keeping Up Appearances, Last of The Summer Wine several times a day. I'm not knocking these shows cause I know there are a lot of fans of them out there but I for one do not watch them.
As for the adverts I think it's the same on all the channels, and have you noticed that all the adverts seem to on at the same time, probabley to stop the likes of you and me flicking through.

I was using that prog as an example. The main thrust of my argument is the lazy programmimg and overlong commercials. I pay for this channel and I should be able to have a reasonable expectation that it will transmit a variety of shows. That's what we pay them for. It seems that the UK channels simple set a computer programme to churn out the same shows repeatedly. They don't even show them in episode order.
That said, surely no one who has any regard for decent acting could posibly want to watch Rockliffe's Babies?

Why pick on that show in particular, I agree they do show the same ones too often as I've stated before on this message board. But what about Last of The Summer Wine, Keeping Up appearances, Murder She Wrote and now All Creatures Great And Small from the begining again, to name but a few. At least D&P isn't on EVERY day (even though I would like it to be). I know there are big fans of these shows out there. It's simple really, if you don't like it, don't watch it.
As for Rockcliffe Babies it would be change to watch it again and I expect other people would agree with me on that.
