Die another day

At First I thought Stupid STV, you broadcast the network film Die another day on Friday, Now your rebroadcasting it tonight??? it not even been three days! But it seems ITV are doing the excat same, what on earth is going on....

Mind you the special efforts are truly awful, are there replying it just to give us a laugh?

They did the same with Tomorrow Never Dies a while back. Aired it on Saturday night and then on Wednesday. God help you if you ever wander onto ITV2. It's Knocked Up and Back to the Future on a constant loop.

They seem to be showing Bond films in order, The World Is Not Enough was on the other week.

Maybe Alan Partridge's boxed set collection in his static home wasn't ruined by that orange juice spillage after all ?

On a similar note, I quite often notice the digital channels (in particular ITV2 and ITV4) will show a film, then show some cheap fodder, then show the same film again half an hour later...

Have you got examples ?

I think that's just the break in the film for ITV2's entertainment news round up, it didn't used to be part of the EPG but they now do it for some reason.

It's a five minute slot called FYI Daily IIRC even though it runs for less than a minute. Features news about as interesting as the crumb tray in my toaster.

Produced by ITN Productions who have done similar filler for 5STAR and 5USA.

Ooh yes, I was on that apparently (when I did something this year that went ever-so-slightly viral - http://www.itv.com/news/2016-01-12/church-organists-david-bowie-tribute-moves-internet-to-tears/ ...) - never saw it, but I got an email from ITN Productions asking for permission for them to use the original video (which I gave). I always wondered where that ended up...
