BBC Three

A possible third way.

Maybe I watch less TV than most, but 7 hours a week (for what is still primarily a catch-up service) should be a positive surely?

Half expected Challenge at least to crash out at 10.15pm as the game was in the final few minutes of extra time, but seems they didn't leave it all to automation as I think other channels who may...

Alex Trebek has died

The host of Jeopardy! was 80.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement - "he'll get the job unless someone else us really good at it". I guess with it being syndicated they'll be no network interference in the decision.

Happy Diwali Idents on C4
