Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Five.US

Over the last few months, maybe years, I have become quite partial to American tv drama, predominantly crime investigation based - CSI, Law and Order, relevant spin offs, Without a Trace, Killer Instinct, NCIS etc. Now with the launch of Five US, its almost a respectable channel, being like Five without the likes of best of police animal chases 9 etc.... . Along with these, it is also debuting some new to the UK shows, such as Conviction (A Law and Order spinoff) which looks promising, and the rather surreal 'Nightmares and Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King'. The later of which was pretty damn good. Then again, green plastic toy soldiers running amok destroying things, it can't be beaten.

And if you want more than drama, there is NASCAR, NBA, MLB, NFL and the X Games. For the comedy there's Joey...

I'd be interested to see if Five can continue to afford shows to maintain the listing, and whether it pays off in the end.

Shame it only runs between 4pm and 1am and not any longer into the wee hours.
