You know, I sometimes think that maybe someone put alcohol in my blood surrogate...

btw, Wong_Chung_Bang: I agree absolutely. The world we're living in is slowly getting more and more debauched. What we need is something decent on the telly.........

Any ideas, anyone?  

Well, I definitely wouldn't want to see that disgusting Mr. Majeika show allowed back on our screens. Full of filth and depravity, it was.

and worst of all Newspeak exists in that horrendous mobile-phone shorthand speak.

You're right. It is doubleplusungood.

Now then, some idiot who shall remain nameless came into my room and saw a video tape. They decided that it shouldn't be there because I don't have a VCR up here, so they took it downstairs and put it on the table. Then, a senile old fool found it, rewound it and used it to record "This Morning". As a result, I no longer have Series 3 of Knightmare on video apart from the episode that is currently being recorded.

This is the sort of reason why I put my tape under lock and key(I'm serious) you might all think I'm mad doing something like this, but when you get to know my parents, you would do the same thing

I'm sorry to hear what happened though, its nothing more annoying when someone comes along, and see a tape unguarded and records over your programmes, Its happened to me in the past too(this is another reason why I do it)

If its any concelation, Challenge do have the rights to show Series 3 as many times as they like until they get any new series(If they do) so when all of Series 3 has been shown, its very likely you will be able to record them again which will most likely be weekends again through March and April

GG: You recorded Big Brother Series 1? Get out.

<¦-)

I don't remember recording it! And I think it's only the episodes I missed while out (yes, one way or another, I did watch them all). So every week when I set the video up to record I get a snippet of old Big Brother coverage. I hasten to add I haven't rewatched it, although I'll probably be sad enough to watch the new series when it inevtiably happens.

<¦-)

Last week I nearly managed to record over a previous episode after I forgot I'd wound it back to look at something again during the week. I was relly lucky to notice in time. Thankfully all that's being recorded over now is Big Brother Series 1.

Sorry to hear about your tapes

So, once again: <¦-(

And scratch the "episode that is currently being recorded" comment in the original post. I only succeeded in recording a technical fault message.

I guess I'll just have to wait until either Challenge? or FTN repeat the series (or, preferably, all of the series). And they WILL show it if it's the last thing I make them do!

On a trawl through my videos on a search for Knightmare episodes I found a tape with Knightmare written on the side.  Excitedly I put in on only to find that someone had taped over it with a Carpenters night that was on BBC2.

Annoyed isn't the word.  Someone would pay good money for some of Series 6 as aired on CITV.  No one would pay for The Carpenters.

Fortunately, I still have roughly 5 1/2 episodes of Series 8 left.  I can still watch the final episode.
