bon3yard Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Although it looks very much like the grand total of 50p has been lavished on this ludicrously niche TV Channel(aimed I gather at 3 men and a highland terrier ensconced in a bothy somewhere North of Castelbay), is it the nichest of the niche? Or is there a Channel that transcends even BBC Alba in terms of minscule telly audiences(Channel 5 doesnt count).http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a5/BBC_Alba.svg/201px-BBC_Alba.svg.png Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6852-special-interest-tv/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadwolf Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Pagan T.V. I wonder if reception is dependant on the moons transit.....or if you have to sacrifice your eldest child for the H.D package.

EDKiwi Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 ok forgive the ignorant foreigner, but what the hell is that? Either I have had one too many beers in the sun or they're all speaking in reverse or something as equally obscure.

Michael Palaeologus Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I have a friend that is in the know. BBC Alba has caused a great deal of annoyance within the Beeb as it has been set up as a cap doffing exercise to the Scots Gaelic speakers and SNP. It has a tiny audience but is set up as proper channel with a big budget and its own bandwidth. Other (bigger) niche areas have to grovel for space on the other BBC channels.

EDKiwi Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I meant bad enough as in for an ignorant foreigner like myself to try and comprehend, I couldn't even begin to try and pronounce place names in Wales when I was there, I'll just stick to my antipodean slang I think :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6852-special-interest-tv/#findComment-219452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bon3yard Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thats probably safest. Nationalist mudslinging wasnt on my agenda but Mr.Palaeologus summed up my initial suspicions....except for the 50p budget thing.

EDKiwi Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 exactly, we kiwis are far too refined to use bizarre slang such as flamin' galah, eskie and arvo.Now I must find my jandals so I can pop down to the dairy to buy some mellow puffs and burger rings, and then call in at the bottle store to pick up some stubbies and a slab of DB for the chilly bin before heading to the bach.
