Advantages: Full of entertaining shows... Disadvantages: ...full of repeats
Of course, it's the wonderful 'Dave'...the artist formerly known as UKTV G2. Not exactly the most exciting of sounding television channels, so they glamourised it...by called it 'Dave'...because everyone knows a Dave.
The concept of the channel is simply a station airing predominantly repeats of entertainment and comedy shows. It doesn't air 24-hours a day, instead it tends to broadcast until approximately 3am each night, and then restarts at 7am, with a bit of mind-boggling Teleshopping thrown in there for good measure.
But what does it show? Well during the day it plays repeats of entertainment shows such as Top Gear, Ray Mear's Extreme Survival, Trawlermen, Traffic Cops and Fifth Gear; all seemingly quite 'manly' shows aimed at blokes called 'Dave' presumably...
As the day's schedule moves on it tends to focus ...

So, upon my return to Ciao, what could I review that seemed somewhat different?? I've done a number of CD's and DVD's, but no books....but I fancied a book with a difference, and then happened to stumble across Schott's Original Miscellany....

Alan Moore has worked on several graphic novels; including 'League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen' and 'V For Vendetta'. Watchmen is a definate good-read, i couldn't put it down once I started reading it, I felt compelled to follow his characters in the lives that they lead in those pages. I had two favorites; Doctor Manhatten and Rorscach, both legendary comic icons thanks to Mr Moore.
I recently saw the film adaptation of this novel and found it a good piece of media, I enjoyed watching the characters that I had fallen in love with in the book become living on the big screen. There is everything in this book; great storyline, realistic drama, inspiring characters that can be related to, and accurate portrayals of past time periods. Moore ...
