ITV = a normal channel, shows some good films, some ok programs, but lots of soap operas and shit

channel 5 = you don't want to know :sick:

Channel 4 is quite good...
I'm surprised channel 5 is still in business
I don't actually know anyone who watches it, or any well known programmes that would entice anyone to watch it.
Just full of cheap war documentaries, ditched 1960s cop series and, erm, other stuff :o
