Tonight!

BBC Three returns to TV with RuPaul special and regional focus

A tractor-racing show in Northern Ireland and a new soap opera are in the pipeline.

Don't forget to retune

Is it just me, or does that article make it sound like there isn't MUCH original programming planned

Didn’t BBC Four lose most of their budget to fund this?

Hence they now only show repeats rather than original programming?

Is Jenny Frost and Pod coming back?

Bring back Snog, Marry, Avoid in this #BeKind climate.

I can't find the channel when I try to retune my TV, maybe it's NOT coming back after all

They could have at least got Lucy Worsley on as a Drag Race guest judge

Well I’m glad Virgin Media have FINALLY changed BBC1 HD to channel 101. The SD one seems to have disappeared so I assume they’re using the signal for BBC Three on the old one.

You shouldn't need to retune. What TV do you have? Virgin, Sky, something else?

Freesat, but it's sorted now We had to uninstall everything and do it from scratch for some reason!

It's broadcasting now! I don't know why I find this sort of thing mildly exciting

I hear you. I remember the launch of Channel 5 was truly exhilarating.

This is aimed at 16-34 year-olds… They think that I am still in the target demographic for this nonsense…

I'd be surprised. It doesn't cost much at all to have it analog (which is why it was such a strange decision to take it off in the first place), and they've been commissioning original programming about it the entire time it's been online anyway.

Friday, the fourth night back, they are reshowing the third series of Angels of the North back to back from 7.30pm so not the most fresh and varied start.

Starstruck, which I enjoyed, is back for a second run next week so that is something.

The Freeview channel numbering is frustrating.

Why can’t Three be 106, Four 107 and News 109?
