Just had Depeche Mode on, followed by the Human League.

(01 May 2015, 6:38 pm)Michael wrote I wonder if Relax will be on.... we know what the BBC were like when it was released!

(01 May 2015, 6:41 pm)Andreos1 wrote Doesn't look like it from the EPG.

Mind, Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure are on, so Vince Clarke will hopefully get his royalty cheque in the morning!

Newcastle is much like any other city in the country, with one key difference when it comes to waste. Since landfill tax was introduced the desire to find alternatives to throwing rubbish in a hole in the ground has become the holy grail of the waste industry. And this goes far beyond simply encouraging residents to use their recycling bins.

All domestic rubbish in Newcastle is taken to the Byker Waste Processing Plant, in the outskirts of the city. Behind its doors, the team work to get as much use out of the rubbish as they can. In an enormous operation using giant sieves called trommels, moving belts and huge magnets, the rubbish is sorted and a use is found for 80% of all the waste it receives. Food waste is turned into compost, metals are removed and most of what’s left is wrapped in bails and turned into refuse derived fuel, which can be used to generate electricity in power stations. The RDF from Byker is shipped across the North Sea to Sweden.

The lesson we learn from looking closely at our waste is that there is more value in what we throw away than we could ever imagine. From places like Byker Waste Processing Plant, to people struggling to make ends meet by salvaging what they can from skips, never has the idea that one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure been so true.

(10 May 2015, 8:15 pm)danpick wrote A new program starts tomorrow on Channel 4 (?) called The Night Bus.

(10 May 2015, 8:24 pm)Jimmi wrote Yep, Channel 4 tomorrow at 10pm.

Before that at 9pm, the new series of Benefits Street (Stockton).

Can you face the challenge of the champions?
Do you have the courage of a hero?
Do you have the will and the skill?

(11 May 2015, 7:03 pm)Robert wrote Ah those were the days when Gladiators was a decent TV show. Sky's revival was awful.

(11 May 2015, 7:43 pm)Andreos1 wrote Wasn't sure whether to put it in this thread or the 'annoying' - ITV's insistence on putting TV shows, that follow 'celebs' around various parts of the UK and Ireland.

Robson Green, Warwick Davies, Victor Meldrew Christine Bleakley...
There are probably more names that have been missed.

Cheap telly and a little jaunt for the presenter and their crew.

(11 May 2015, 7:52 pm)Jimmi wrote I didn't give ITV permission to film my life.

It's ITV so Stephen Mulhern is probably in there as well.

(11 May 2015, 8:04 pm)Andreos1 wrote A TV show following you around with your daily trials and tribulations would be better than the stuff their producers come up with!
You just have to provide the commentary.

Stephen Mulhern - urgh.

(11 May 2015, 8:21 pm)Jimmi wrote I am a rather plain person but even I could make more interesting viewing than this show sounds.

I think there is enough film already showing Robson Green fishing, don't think we need another show with him and his massive fish.
