Ooooh someone sounds a little jealous with a touch of envy perhaps!!!
must be all the cash the channel is making, I mean you can’t run a channel on thin air (not like a website!!) and they are 1yr old, when everyone said they’d be dead in a week (inc me) and anyone who knows the slightest thing about TV knows it costs a fair bit.
Can get dull, but rather it was there than not. At least someone’s having a go.
