I've just noticed that the Persuasionists was not on at the usual time of 10pm tonight, but instead has been shifted to 11:20pm tomorrow, right after Newsnight.

I believe this is called 'burying'. Was/is the Persuasionists really that bad?

yep,it's got the graveyard shift. Shame really, I know it had poor ratings but they could have let it finish it's run. I don't think they promoted it much either...I guess that's a solid signal of a no on a second series though. The only thing I would wish for is for Meebox to be comissioned.

Was very annoyed at the change of scheduling, meant it was way past my bedtime and hardly gives people the chance to watch it.

So set the dvd recorder to tape Episode 5 and darn thing missed the last 3 mins. I figured I would just tape the last 10 mins of the saturday repeat. Checked the recording on Sunday morning, transpires Beeb put episode 6 on, so no repeat and I now have 27mins of episode 5 and 10mins of episode 6. grrrrrrrr :evil: I see no repeats happening in the future!
If anyone can help me out with episodes 5 & 6 I would greatly appreciate it! I don't have internet at home, so can't iplayer watch them or download etc. :(
Cheers
Ben

It was not the greatest I agree, but I still want to see it out to the end! ;)
