Well that's your own fault. You saw what he was like on Blue Peter back in the
early '80s, and you trust him to program your TiVo? :)

There's no reason why all prime-time programmes can't be made available again
within the week when they have ongoing storylines, rather than make people
wait months/years for a repeat on UK Gold with logos, ads and cropped to 14:9
