Targetted advertising

A Toys R Us ad during a programme about the Somme on Channel 4 at 10:30pm. Interesting placement that one.

Random morning

It's been a fairly normal sort of a day but with scattered with slightly odd random events.

I was walking home at lunchtime and going through the FM band on my Roberts Radio which I don't normally use, but did today because my mobile was hidden under a pile of junk somewhere, when I stopped at a station playing No Doubt - It's My Life. The signal was a bit weak but listenable enough, and the DJ came on and identified it as Invicta FM from Kent! That's miles away, I didn't know it got anywhere near this far West. I suppose the hill helps.

Arriving home there was some post; in particular a Water bill wrapped in a GNER flyer. Very odd!

Heimat

For the past few weeks I've been enjoying Heimat, an epic of German television portraying the changing times of German throughout the 20th Century. However I only caught all of Heimat 3; the most recent series, which fortunately was well publicised. Heimats 1 and 2 I almost entirely missed, and according to the BBC Four website they have no plans to repeat them due to cost grounds! I am quite disappointed by this, but at the same time I'm not sure if I want to fork out £50 for each series on DVD.

Come on BBC! Let's have another chance to see this marvel of television.
