Disney Travels In Time

Disney Channel in the UK (available through your local cable or satellite provider...) has just launched it's new package, containing three new channels, AT NO EXTRA COST !!

One of these is called "Disney+1", and is exactly the same as the main Disney channel, but running one hour later...

This, apparently, is in case you missed your favourite Disney programme first time round but still want to see it. And don't forget, it's FREE!!

It's An Outrage!!

What kind of chumps do Disney think we are?? Showing the same programmes one hour later does NOT constitute a new channel, and it damn well ought to be free - so no incentive there then!

But what concerns me is, what happens if you miss your programme on Disney+1? There seems to be no provision for this, such as Disney+1+1 (or is that +2?), surely a massive error on their part?

And what about really busy people who just can't wait for their favourite programme on Disney? Where is the Disney-1 channel? I mean that'd be a real time-saver; you need to see Sabrina The Teenage Witch, but also have a hot date to get to. No problem - just tune in to the channel that screens the main channel's shows one hour ahead of time!!

Or could you achieve the same effect by treating Disney+1 as Disney, therefore making Disney into Disney-1...??? Where's the Doctor when you need him?

The other two alternatives of course are;

1. get a video recorder
   

2. get a life...

(The BBC have been doing this for years of course, except in their case it's called BBC+20years, it runs on the same channel as their main programming, and costs £104 a year whether you want it or not.....)
