I was thinking now that Sky has picked up its ball and left,
what would you guy recommend as ways to fill the schedules.

Living Tv is suppose to be some kind of flag ship for Virgin
Media but its selection isn't nearly as expansive.

The Sci-fi channel could bridge the gap with re-runs of
'Sliders', for its mix of drama and pop philosophy, missing
now that Enterprise and the rest of the Star Trek fleet
have boldly gone. Is there anything else you guys would
recommend, or like to see as reruns?

As for current tv , there's just the latest Cops n Spy
serials, nothing like the other worldly escapism of sci-fi.

Just sellotape a photo of homer simpson to the top left hand corner of
your screen and a glace cherry to the top right. Put in a video of
early 1990's simpsons and then press play. Just about 3 minutes from
the end get your neighbour to phone you and say 'coming next on sky
one - Lost'

Hey presto - Sky One!

ROFL Nice one!
