Couple of Notes on Commenting…
TIPS FOR POSTING It is always extremely helpful when people post dates, times and information below. It is useful in keeping the list as current as possible and makes for a great community spirit. But when posting, please remember the following:
1) Use full programme titles. As instantly recognisable as abbreviations may be to someone who watches that show, to someone who doesn’t, it is just a meaningless collection of letters that have to be looked up.
2) If a bit of information is a rumour, please say so – we can list it as such, pending confirmation.
3) If something comes from a reputable source, please quote that source, so we all know it is not just a rumour.
Thank you.
