While flicking thru the music channels, saw a great pop video by Mcfly, not my cup of tea but........



The band are on colourd sprues in bits, moving a bit, also blown up on instruction sheets moving and then fitted together, box says with rodie and groupies. decal sheet too. guitair, amps etc



Box is Tamiya, stands out like a sore thumb and inst sheet shows there funny shaped paint sybol



v good video, maybe find a online sample/demo well worth checking out


That's too funny! I'll check that out. cheers,

Saw it on The Hits at the weekend - flick through music channels - there are only 2!

wasnt on my usual list of pop channels, i go for sloppy slove or the 70 and

80's i have a choice of about 15-20

Since I get my Digital TV free and have open choice in decoders* - ie no cable or knobbled Murdoch box I get 2 Music channels

TMF and The Hits - BARB 1 and 2 in ratings for all music channels.

I'm it was The Hits I saw that video - very clever indeed

  • Sony one indside the TV and a Pace Hard Disk recorder

i stick to VH1 etc and Magic, i like the oldie stuff

Okay, I'd like to get my digital cable free too. I don't feel like buying a digital tv at the moment; what's a murdoch box? Which end of the planet are we talking? tia,

Presumably a reference to Rupert Murdoch. He is the Australian guy that runs Sky TV and 'owns' satellite TV here in the UK. If you want digitial you either have some free to air digital channels which are mostly BBC etc. or you need to pay Murdoch every month.

Ah, Murdoch, the fellow who brought sleaze-TV to the USA. I wouldn't touch FOX with a cattle prod.

at least that friends drivel is gone. one more overheard conversation about it would send me r'nring.

Digital TV in UK

1) Terrestrial Digital AKA Freeview Fully open, 5 PVRs, lots of IDTVs, no forced designs

  • are quite good

Free to air, about 30 channels BBC1,2,3,4,News24,Cbeebies,CBBC,Parliament all but parliament* ITV 1*,2,3 C4* C5* The Music Factory* The Hits* ABC1*

Hey! I thought it was Jerry Springer! And he's on a bunch of the local channels, not just Fox!
