Default Have I got news for you: why 3 times per week?

I enjoy this as much as the next man, but why on earth does the Beeb need to broadcast it 3 times every week? It's on Friday, Saturday and Monday nights! It's not as if you even have to wait that long for the repeats is it?

It's shown more often than even Top Gear!

It's a cost efficient way of filling up air-time. Remember how annoying it was when you missed something ? You used to have to wait months for a second chance, but these days you can almost guarantee that anything half decent will be on within a couple of days. Maybe very late, or on an obscure Digital channel, but if you didn't Sky+, V+, HDD or VCR it, you'd be thankful they haven't the money to fill all the channels with new material 24/7.

I just watch the 'a bit more' extended one at w*rk on iPlayer during my extended tea break

I was only ranting about this last night! They're taking the pi55!! It's not the only programme that's repeated the night after it's first shown either!

The Saturday repeat is an extended version, ten minutes longer, so it could be fairly argued that it's not a repeat. And anyway, the third time you watch the program, it's still better than just about anything else on.

I'm sure you will find that they have targets for repeats now!

Repeating shows is awful with the funding they get, I only expect repeats on +1 channels, or movies on digital channels

Nothing is worse than corrie being on twice in the same night, then a 2 hour "drama" for all the divorced housewives, then a film from 1988, i hate itv!

Then they put corrie on again all sunday morning!
