Anyway video recorders. How quaint I said, I think we have one of those gathering dust somewhere. I’ve even got a DVD player that dear old Allen got for me, gathering fly droppings in the conservatory, where there isn’t even television these days.
What with iPlayer and 4more or whatever it’s called, not forgetting whatever the ITV one is called, plus all the plus channels that repeat everything one hour later, what do I need a VCR for? I’ve got a hard drive full of movies and some TV series to watch (trying to get the wife interested in Battlestar Galactica without much success), so if the evening schedule is just plain rubbish I don’t really mind.

But I watched Wuthering Heights last night, It’s rare to find anything remotely good or interesting on ITV never mind in HD but this is really good. Get to the end of the show, wait to hear when the final part is going out, only to be told, nothing, nada, not a bloody sausage as to when we can see the concluding part.

I see from tvguide.co.uk it’s on tonight, but it clashes with Wallander on BBC4 and I don’t know if that will be on the iPlayer, it’s foreign for a start, and you only get one shot with HD stuff on ITV. The playitagain is SD only. ITV’s HD output is dismal compared to the BBC, it’s mostly bloody football and who’s interested in that these days?

By the way if anyone is interested in Vampires, and i can, surprisingly, recommend Twilight as a movie worth watching, you might want to catch Moonlight on Virgin 1. It’s a damn shame they didn’t commission a second season, what with the aforementioned Twilight reinvigorating the genre.
