CrazyCraven (Level 28)

 
The ever changing landscape of the television schedule has changed once more.  Two big BBC programs have finished their current series and the weekend running order is light of any motor-spot with the climatic conclusion of the Formula one 2010 season.  However we should all be happy that ITV have greased the palms of Pj and Duncan (Ant and Dec) for another outing for I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, that this year features the iconic vocalist from the Happy Mondays and the only man banned from appearing on channel 4, Shaun Ryder.  

Note - ongoing i will only be featuring program that are on the Freeview platform.  It just makes a time consuming job just a little easier.

Program of the week

 
 
The Pillars of the Earth
Saturday 20th - Channel 4 - 21:00

I have to say that 'The Pillars of the Earth' had totally flown under my radar until i caught it while channel hopping.  In the final feature-length conclusion to Aliena is exiled to France with Jack's illegitimate son, only to find her lover and inform him of the collapse of Kingsbridge Cathedral.  

Film of the week

 
 

Hotel Rwanda
Tuesday 16th - Film4 - 00:55

Why this film based on the true story of a hotel manager who housed thousands of Tutsi’s during the hutu feud in Rwanda is on at such an ungodly house is beyond me.  One to record, unless you are a real night owl.
