That's the good news. The bad news is that anything worth watching will be moved to other channels like Sky Documentaries and they won't be too bothered about making or paying for new content for a FTA channel.
P.S. Skid - It's a Bank Holiday weekend over here this weekend, so you better have one hell of a line up for us later! :P

Ha, no pressure at all then!
Yeah, pros and cons for the Sky Arts move but hopefully a lot of the shows which are premiered on Sky Docs will trickle down to the other station
Speaking of which, there is a new Doc about the Go Gos on Sky Documentaries, and a new Gospel thing on BBC4. All sorts of stuff on the other channels including Christy Moore on the TG4 Sunday Night slot

I think that I Love 1984 show up there features a clip of Boy George and Culture Club's appearance on The A-Team. That features the clip below where Face introduces 'The Culture Club' in a Bar which looks suspiciously like Bob's Country Bunker. What a time to have been alive

I just remembered I have Adam and the Ants Prince Charming on vinyl. I think it was the second album I ever owned. The state of them on the back cover photo but it had some good tunes.
That was the first album I ever bought! Which was pretty cool. First single was The Lion Sleeps Tonight, which was not so cool
Edit: it had a lyric sheet insert. I can confirm that "da diddly qua qua" are official lyrics in Prince Charming.0 -
