Heard they're changing the name to OFAH...

I've never really accepted that lazy claim that's it's a non-stop OFAH channel.  It does rely on it heavily at weekends, but weekdays are full of classic comedy.

This week's schedule includes Desmonds, 2pointforchildren, Dad's Army, Open all Hours, Porridge, Last of the Summer Wine, The Green Green Grass, The Vicar of Dibley, The Royle Family, Are You Being Served, Live from the Apollo, Bottom and Peep Show.

Compared to the cheap and nasty FTA channels on Freeview which seem to dig up bargain bin shows that people didn't like from the 80s, Gold continues to be a quality classic comedy channel.

GOLD is one of the best channels on Television. My post was made in jest but sometimes it does seems like the weekend schedules are monopolised  by OFAH. No programme is universally popular and I daresay that many GOLD viewers simply don't like OFAH and may resent it being rammed down their throats of a weekend.

For the record I am a OFAH fan as well as a Summer Wine fan and I feel that Compo and Co do monopolise weekdays.
