Rep Power: 0 ![]() | This Sunday's TG reruns the day after, and is awkwardly listed as a 60 min show on Sunday, and a 65 min show on Monday. How come? The "Have I Got News For You" reruns used to have an extra few minutes of material at one point, but I doubt they'd do that with TG. Seems the most logical explanation though. I guess I'll just watch both and see. Sunday: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/listings..._4224_44944_60 Monday: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/listings..._4224_45428_65 |

| At least it has something to do with government. Maybe the government pays? ![]()

| VIP | Well, the BBC is regulated by a group of governors appointed by the government. The network is financed by a TV license that anyone with TV in England pays - almost like a tax. It isn't technically owned by the government, but through the way it is regulated and financed, the government technically has complete control over it. Jeesh, I'm a Canadian and I know this. You'd think you Brits should know this. ![]() |

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | My guess would be they're going to add some studio chat. A few extra jokes etc, as they did with HIGNFY (although that show is ONLY studio chat). Obviously nothing too important... I'll try to spot the differences and post them here. |

| Lazy Head Dude | No, Brits have like a TV tax that you have to pay if you own a TV or some bullshit. It pays for their BBC.

| Yup, we pay for the license and we get a number of channels without adverts and with good programmes. Well worth it in my opinion.

| We haveto pay for one of our channels (called NRK) no matter if we want to or not. We pay a license as long as you have a TV, so that TV station doesnt have any commercials, but they show a lot of boring stuff, coz' they have to. There are like rules on what to send and how much of what. Its kinda good after all... ![]()

Thats a very student thing to do. Good on you haz. The law says that they are not allowed to enter your house without a clearance, wich they never bother to get. It's really unfair, I never use NRK as a protest, 'coz their car program suck ass. ![]()
