I've seen the BBC Parliament channel marketed as 'pure politics' on the other BBC channels before.

It's much better now you get a full screen picture of normal broadcast quality (though you usually have to be pretty bored to tolerate watching for long the painfully slow debates that go on).

Yes, the full screen is much better. I quite enjoy watching Commons debates, I find it quite interesting. I wish coverage of the House of Lords was more extensive though.

I like to watch the Northern Ireland (Ulster) Assembly, Welsh Assembly, London Assembly and Scottish Parliament debates as well as Commons/Lords debates.

I like to watch the London coverage to monitor what the europhile UKIP-hating leftist Livingstone is saying.

The BBC Parliament Channel has been 'plugged' (i.e. advertised) on BBC News 24 Television.

I like it when the cars screams in and then they all start squirting water at each other, while kicking each other up the backside.

Ah, so that explains it!!!
I have only watched BBC News 24 on about 4 or 5 different occasions and very briefly.

Cute avatar, by the way.

I fell asleep on the settee the last time I tried watching it.
I should probably try again.
