Default Men and Motors

Why has my Men and Motors channel turned into a crappy 24hour premium priced ring-in quiz program??

Sky (if that's what you have) changed the channel numbers around quite recently. The channels in your favourites list will still be there but the numbers are different i.e. Scuzz (probably not your thing Pete but who knows) went from 471 to 364...

I think PSL will have freeview at a guess - hes not very well off (can only stretch to an MX5 ).

If that is the case, then unfortunately no more perving at M&M unless you want to fork out some dosh on sky/cable

If you want M&M, stop being a pikey and get a decent TV system and not Pikeyview

M&M isn't worth paying for!! Good Grief - some people are so stupid thay pay over £30 a month to have these crappy channels

I have Pikey FreeView and it's fine - just wondered where M&M had gone .. I certainly don't miss it enough to actually pay anything to watch it!

So? Freeview cannot get it then?

They looked at the demographic of Freeview viewers and realised that they are the core audience for crappy quiz shows, Judge Judy and Trisha.

Thats about right for PSL then, there just is not anything worth watching as far as I can see on Freeview when I checked it at the home of someone who recently got it. Once you have got past all the BBC programmes and ITV etc. there is nothing left that is worthwhile.

ITV replaced M&M with a new channel called 'ITV Play'; in their channel 35 Freeview slot. M&M continues to be broadcast on Sky, Telewest and NTL.

Watched one of these the other night - the clock was clicking down from 20 seconds to the answer, so, I watched to see what the answer was ................ 50 sodding minutes later it was STILL going on. They simply restarted the timer!!!!

What a con they are and who the hell rings in??

I fear for society, take a look at Trisha ... these quizes ... and other utter crap and you really MUST wonder what we have bred and brought up in the past 20 years?????

All children of the Tories years .....
