Dammit, where's Sky One? We don't all like (or watch) Bones or Cold Case, you know. It's nice that ITV2 is close to giving me a reason to watch that channel (I don't watch Supernatural either).
I think the new Head of SKY One, Richard Wolfe, is looking to put more money into original commissions. Nobody has yet really made a success of SKY One so expect a different approach. And why risk spending big money on unproven shows when you can just steal them once they have become hits. I am more surprised at the lack of Channel Five activity given they have got three channels to programme.....
