Yeah, but no different to BBC/ITV with adverts on ITV and them putting the news on half way through films on both channels (though not sure if BBC have done this for a while?)

No lol. God knows what they're spending the license money on.

This is great news, will be tuning in on my freeview box a lot more now.

Cheers

FilmFour is going free? Welcome to last months news

On a general note, the only ones to contribute decent content to Freeview are Channel 4. E4, More4 and soon-to-be Film4 are the only decent channels available

Well think about it.
Right now they have 300,000 subscribers paying what, £7 per month?
That is £2.1m income from subscribers.
They have to get that money back from somewhere.

18m potential viewers means a lot more people will want to advertise.

I'd rather have ads in the movies than pay £7 a month for the channel and not have ads.

Incredibly mind boring period dramas such as bleak house.

I suppose they did give us Planet Earth which was excellent.

I enjoyed LIT a little more than the first time i watched it (not saying much as i hated it 1st time!). It still ranks as one of the most over-rated films of all time though.

Tru · 24 Jul 2006 at 11:59

I started watching LIT but wasn't in the mood, I turned over to Amélie and was very dissapointed, I thought it was tripe. Watched a bit of Sexy Beast though, it's an awesome film.

Windle · 24 Jul 2006 at 15:49

Bit better tonight with "The Fifth Element"

Mikeyboy · 24 Jul 2006 at 18:26

Sexy Beast is an awesome film. Makes me laugh, even though it really shouldn't.
