Indeed a 3 hour 15 minute slot for a film which is 2 hours and 41 minutes long!  Plenty of ad breaks opportunities to make a cuppa.

There was also another 5 minute entertainment programme inserted during the film which a lot of channels seem to do these days. I have been caught out by that in the past when my PVR treats both parts as separate programmes and only records the first part. I have since learnt to make separate recordings for both parts.

MY Radio Times says Ch 5 NEW Africa by train with Chris Tarrant next Thursday. But the EPG says Building Britain's canals S1 Ep1.

Digiguide shows
20.00 Chris Tarrant
21.00 Building Britains Canals

My EPG also disagrees with that.
20.00 Warship: A Year at Sea
21.00 Building Britains Canals

The Chris Tarrant programme may be a listings error because although shown as a new series there are no other episodes on Channel 5 apart from repeats. Digiguide only goes as far as 1st July.
