I said the same a while back, Basser and so completely agree with you. They are repeating the repeats over and over and it's pathetic.
Last night it was an old JB from 1962 - 58 flippin' years ago!!
Then on telly tonight, almost everything on is a repeat of things we have all seen before.
There's another rerun of The Durrells, followed by repeats of Maigret, repeats of The Chase, and Dragons Den, more old John Travolta films (makes a change from old Sylvester Stallone films
), and I've lost count of how many times that 'Home Alone' film has been shown!And as I have moaned about before, what is it with the American's and their murder films? . . .
7 pm - Medical detectives.
8 pm - Uncovering Melanie's Murder
9 pm - Ice cold Killers
10 pm - A gunman goes on the rampage in Alaska
11 pm - Teens Who Kill
. . . And so on, and it's the same every night.
There must be some serious weirdo's about to want to watch nothing but killings all night long.
No wonder there is so much violence about.

Having been presented with nothing but repeats for some weeks now, I finally took the plunge and cancelled our TV licence.
Using a Firestick to watch anything and everything on the internet, I was pleasantly surprised to see just how much there is on offer, and that excludes all the paid for stuff like Netflix.
Again, most of the TV stuff is repeats, but there are many films and, of course, catch-up stuff of what has been on the telly. All legally watchable without a TV licence...
AND, I am no longer subsidising the biased BBC!
