Unfortunately, you'll be in for a long wait.
Due to the fact that the BBC and BSkyB bought the viewing rights together,
We won't be seeing any new TNG on BBC2 until BSkyB have finished showing
the first three seasons, which will be 18 months or more.
So it'll be 1994 before BBC viewers finally get to see 'Family'.
Bit of a shame really.

Did anyone notice an apparent cut in the most recent episode, "A, B and C"
screened by Channel 4. We see Number 6 talking to B and as nothing
interesting is happening Numbers 2 and 14 discuss trying to
put words in B's mouth. Suddenly the scene changes to number 6 waking
up and discovering a second injection mark on his wrist, leaving
the scene with B unresolved. Has a scene been cut here? and were the
earlier episodes shown complete?

It can be mildly annoying when the programme you are watching on BBC2 finishes
at 8:10 and the next programme you want to watch starts at 8:00 on Ch4, but
I'm prepared to live with it, because more often it means that you don't have
to wait half an hour for something new to start (at one of those times when
there is nothing worth watching on all four channels). 

What is very annoying is when they are running late, usually on BBC2, but
insist on showing a 2 minute trailer or, even worse, a 2 minute puff for the
BBC rather than cutting it out and getting back on schedule.

On the radio they schedule even finer than to the nearest 5 or 10 minutes;
the lunchtime comedy slot on Radio 4 used to be listed as starting at 12:27,
though I think they now call it 12:25.

You cannot trust the listings published by either the BBC (Radio Times) or
the ITV (TV Times). I noticed, in Radio Times, that an American series I
had wanted to see should have started broadcasting two weeks ago; however
when it was due to be shown the continuity announcer said that they were to
show soccer (ugh!). I duly phone the duty office only to be told "I'm
confused as well, I was expecting to see a nature programme". This week
they broadcast the first episode of the series and the continuity announcer
had to say "this is not the episode detailed in the listings magazines".

All-in-all dont get your hopes up until you watched the complete show;
they'll pre-empt it for who knows what!

You think that's bad? I was watching Planet of the Apes on the Disney 
Channel recently. The scene at the end where Heston yells "You did it! 
You Finally Did it!" Damn you all to Hell!" has been changed to "You did 
it! You Finally did it! Darn!"
Yes Darn is the perfect thing to say when you realize that your world was 
destroyed by a nuclear war. :)

You should compare like with like.  The quality and variety of programmes
drops off during the summer months, and picks up again from September.  There
is currently something I want to watch on most nights of the week now, but
this was not true a couple of months ago.

Still no news at the BBC D.O. :-(

Maybe it will be the 20th Oct? Maybe they will surprise us all and put

I realise it was a light hearted comment, but what do you think it is I
am going to get? A maniac kid who hit things with a mallet? 

Far be it from me to introduce a serious note into the proceedings
but I carefully select the programs my daughter watches. The result of
this is that when I buy here educational software for the under fives
she walks it (unlike her mother who has a bit of trouble!). Yes,
Timmy is good for the mind when your that age. The programs to avoid
are Neigh-bores and such like. These are designed to stop the mind 
from working.

             a point to ponder for those who wonder
             if Avon was insane by the END.

             I refer back to the episode which
             introduced the "puppeteers", I 
             can't remember the title.  A 
             psychostategist should have been
             able to predict Avons actions 
             if Avon was insane.

             Now I ask the question.
             Does the END confirm or deny
             Avon's sanity?
             Did a puppeteer actually
             succeed in predicting what
             Avon would do?
             If so, how long had Servy
             been playing with him,
             and just waiting?

This sounds more and more like the situation in the US.  Films are
bought up by cheapo distributors, copied on the most basic equipment and
sold to local stations and independents for broadcast.  The major
networks tend to have very good quality copies of films to show, but
otherwise the standard is not much better than the typical 16mm reel
supplied to your average student film society.  Sound compression is
partly a response to the low quality of the soundtrack at the time of
copying.  Judging by the colour quality, some copies are about fifth
