It's a reasonably interesting programme, but suffers from the same problem that all these LIST type shows do! ~x(

After each break there is a rehash of all that you've seen already which probably accounts for 20% of the whole damn thing! :-o

yeah that winds me up too!!!

Waste of bloody time and as you say only serves the purpose of padding out a 20 minute programme to 60 minutes with the aid of 20 minutes adverts!!!

I suppose the BEST way around it would be to ONLY WATCH the LAST 15 minutes! ;) ;)

I know this is not very helpful but there was a programme on last night about the millionaires that went to war. I can't remember the title, what channel it was on or what time... but! There is a BBC news link I found this morning :p
