BBC's 3D blunder BLASTED OUR BRAINS – Doctor Who fans

Re: I've never understood the need for on-screen logos

Indeed. There are channels I delete because the logo is so intrusive, and, basically because I'm insulted that they think I don't care.And then there are the ads for what's on next - deliberately distracting the viewer during the exposition. And Pick TV, i.e. Sky Free having 'Sci Fi Week on Pick TV' or similar in the top left throughout the entire episode.

Or ad breaks at inappropriate moments, almost as if commercial channels aren't interested in broadcasting, only in the advertising revenue...

Before Ross I never imagined you could make so much money from trying too hard.

This must be how De Niro felt when Robin Williams gave him L-dopa. It's like a different world! And I don't mean Mars.

Just back from a year off (no, not chokey). Seems to me the foisting on (the captives) of TIFKAM would parallel Windows no longer enabling email 'because everyone uses Twitter'.

I see STB is still dribbling shite on the subject.

So, Steve Jobs still dead then?
