The other morning, Ella came on the mic at 4:52 and said there were only 8 minutes of freeview left. She put the mic down, and in no time, the screen went blank and it was all over, the time was still showing 4:52!
Quite why we get so short-changed when Xtra continues right up until 5am I don't understand.

I take it you're talking about Freeview? The finish time will depend upon whatever arrangements Cellcast made with the operator they took over the time from. Officially FV BS finishes at 4:55am, which means the feed from the studio set should be cut at 4:53:45am with the remaining time used for the exit sequence and ads. It's not always that precise and in any case the perceived time will depend upon the accuracy of the viewer's clock. (Edit: and the studio clock, of course!)
After watching fom 11:55pm tonight it looks to me like they're starting at exactly 11:00pm and going straight to the studio camera without running the intro sequence, with no ads, and without the spoken full screen content warning. Not only is that thoroughly scruffy and unprofessional, but I think the lack of preliminary warning is an offence under EU law. After a few mins they're putting up the warning banner they sometimes run at the bottom of the screen, but I think the rules require a full warning before any programme material is shown. I think someone in the studio is fucking up. Just my opinion, mind.

RE: Babestation review thread.
Hello,
For me it went down a little like this:
BS1 dove right on in at 11 with no intro. (The 18 warning was on the OSG) We had Linsey (understandably), did I detect a little mistiness in those eyes!? Then she was split screen with Kandi before she was then replaced by her. Kandi looked tired to me and didn't really do much. She was a little animated when doing a 2-4-1 with Lolly, but then she can wake anyone up, including me! Lolly then took centre stage right up till midnight.
94 again dove on in with no splash screens. Lolly was still there and giving it all she'd got. The major trouble with this was that Georgie was on Xtra and completely naked! So, much channel flicking ensued! Lolly was split screen with Kandi for a time, which was very unequal as Kandi just sat there while Lolly was still on fire next door. Kandi then replaced Lolly. Thankfully, Georgie kept getting her time extended and delivered what has to be one of the funniest moments I've seen in ages. She gave a shout out to Dan Volatile after he told her to stop moving her arse. I was laughing so hard it hurt!! (Still does now actually.)
After Georgie left Xtra I went back to BS1 where Lolly had replaced Kandi. She was in full flow yet again and I settled back in bed to watch her go for it. Trouble was, over on Xtra, Linsey had left and I flicked over just in time to see Tammy taking her panties off! More channel hopping! The hopping continued when I found Georgie on PL, she and Geri were discussing the issue of Zoo I'd bought earlier that day. I thought it was quite nice that Georgie kept the copy beside her bed as I had too.
Sadly, my eyes were beginning to hurt as much as my sides and thumb were and I reluctantly left the 3 of them to it. All in all a great night! We still don't know if the pre-midnight nudity was a fluke, but hopefully we will soon.
CHEERS!

RE: Babestation review thread.
A terrific night on BS/PL,with Georgie,Kandi and Tammy all at there very best.Still not convinced about the girl callers,as they tend to all go on for over 20 minutes and it seems its just a ploy by celcast to stop there being any dead air with a girl waving her phone about waiting for a call. The lovely Georgie is a case in point in her naked hour or so,she had a girl caller,then 2 girl couple and finally b/g couple the law of averages says that would never happen,but plenty of people listen in to Georgie calls so you can see why bs would use staff to call in if its a slow night,plus if all these girl callers are real why are they only phoning bs and not the other channels,they all would tell you if there was a girl caller as live 960 and CP have when they've had the odd girl caller.Also over a year or go there was never any girl callers on bs and now suddenly there's about 10 every night,(they all cant be students or 18 year old virgins)and yet non on the other channels.Plus its funny when the girls do leave bs for another channel,they suddenly don't have any girl callers at all! Its a shame that bs are doing this as it does stop genuine male and female callers from phoning in,witch is the real point of the shows and not people listening in to fake calls.It ranks along with that other great con,texting the girls for a sex chat,its not say a kandi etc but a girl working at bs studios.I'm surprised that ofcom let them get away with it,coning money from people under force pretence.
