    And Richard Briers - Im sure he does alot of the voice overs - I hate it when rich people profit at other mis-fortune!! These types of companies should be banned with their "owe £1000? - call us and we'll have your house for it"

    Yeh, total agree Martin....also whilst on this subject....how about that irresponsible company that produces TINY POP.....a programme aimed at very young children, which is on all day and all night....YES 24 HOURS!

    As any parent we have the ultimate responsibility to bringing up our children. However, I think any tv broadcaster also should show some common sense and responsbility when its comes to scheduling their programmes. Showing programmes aimed at under 5's beyond midnight just shows how irresponsible these owners are...and i bet they dont have children either!

    It is enough trouble getting children to sleep but with this stupid channel on all night, just adds unnecessary pressure.

    No doubt a company owned by some arrogant idiot

    i disagree steve, from experience if children are ill in the middle of the night then this can be a very comforting distraction for them to stop them crying, if you want your kids to stop watching the tv at 6pm then turn it off
