Surprised no-one noticed this then !

A pre-recorded Gary Terzza V/O announced 'On The Buses', at 12pm.

As soon as he said it, the screen went black, for less than a minute, then Plus' apology caption came up.

After about 5 mins, programmes returned, with 'Not On Your Nellie' instead.

At roughly 12.35pm, 'Hallejulah', appeared, as billed.

Programmes were running 5 mins late, when we turned over at 1pm.

Anyone know what happened with 'On The Buses' ?

(Please, no smart a*** remarks about my choice of viewing, I'm just wondering what happened!)

I found 'Not on Your Nellie' quite entertaining. Not having perused the channel's listings in advance, i thought the EPG was perhaps incorrect in billing 'On The Buses'. What I did find strange, however, was that the DOG was not present during all of Part One, it returned during the adverts, then disappeared at the start of Part Two - returning about halfway through Part Two (or 3/4 the way through!)

Does this mean I won't get to see Not On Your Nellie next Sunday?! Sad

I didn't notice the DOG problem.

I must admit it was the first time I saw 'Nellie', & I must admit I wasn't impressed.

I prefered 'Nearest & Dearest' personally.

I do wish Plus wouldn't put comedies early in the morning.

I can't get up that early, at weekends, plus I forget to set the video too.

I do wish they'd put the following on Sunday Lunchtimes as well :

Mind Your Language, The 'Doctor' series (in sequence please from 'In The House through 'On The Go'!), Father Dear Father, & all those other ITV comedies you haven't seen for ages, from the early days of LWT/Thames, that haven't been wiped!

All I ever watch on plus is Classic Coronation Street.
