[Orry Verducci]

Who or what is keeping the EPG populated on Freesat and why are they or it not doing the same on Freeview?

It's just generic, the programme is called Ideal World and the description is "A selection of Ideal World repeat shows." and each programme is scheduled for a varying number of hours between 4 and 7 but someone or some process must have typed that, created the schedule and published it.

That's the default entry that every hour on the EPG was automatically populated with, which we of course would replace with the actual schedule.

I was changing the EPG to read "This is Ideal World" but my access to the system has now been cut off so I can't update it anymore.

The system would let us submit EPG data far ahead of the 7 day guide that's broadcast, up to a chosen end date. When I did the last update I brought forward the end dates for Freeview and Sky, but I can't remember if I did it for Freesat, so there's a good possibility my last update went as far as now and what you're seeing is the default data that would have uploaded with it.

Also, a question for Orry Verducci, what is Peter Simon REALLY like?

Pete is exactly as he appeared on TV. Full of life and a genuinely lovely guy.
