DS9 in the UK
- Thread starter MoonTrek
- Start date
Right on my birthday too! I wish I was in the UK 
Two years was long enough thank you! But Paramount reduced the prices of DS9 DVDs thankfully.
Excellent news! 
It has been years since I last saw DS9, when BBC2 aired it at 6pm ages ago. I just hope they stick with it, because Five seemed to drop Voyager like a hot potato after only a few weeks, despite promoting it heavily.
Anyway, looking forward to getting into this great show again! :thumbsup:

Looks like the ship has come in for our cousins...enjoy the show.
Watching now.
They just had a brief 'Star Trek' ad touting the premiere of DS9, both now at at eight later. Apparently they've also got Enterprise, as this ad consisted of the decon scene from 'Broken Bow', as the narrator saucily observed 'we're got over six hundred hours but this is our favourite few seconds.'
Heh. Whoever the demographic that's aimed at, it's not me. But then, I'm the hardcore nerd. They don't need to court me... and ah, there's an asteroid now, gracing my TV for the first time since 2002. Magical.

It confused me slightly why they were advertising DS9 with clips from Enterprise at first, until I heard the voiceover...
Still, I agree with you, its not going to entice me any more into watching the show! Even though I have it on DVD, its good to see it on the telly again.

Cool, less than an hour to go for the later evening showing, been ages since I've watched.
I've got my TOS tapes and TNG's been repeated often enough in recent memory, time for another stroll through DS9
Didn't know Sky customers got this channel too though, thought it was a sort of two fingers up to Murdoch for not letting them have Sky on cable.

Ah great, its one of those channels that gives you ads straight after the opening sequence

True, but it gave me enough time to frame a complaint about their ads and then note the approach of the asteroid, so I can't complain that much.
Still, it's really nice to hear the DS9 theme again when they cut to credits, it takes me back. Unfortunately, the credits are all so modern, bah...

Unfortunately, the credits are all so modern, bah...The ratings for last night are in, with Deep Space Nine watched by 226,000 viewers, giving it a 1.2% share of everyone in the UK watching television last night.

Cool! Let's keep it up! Is it Past Prologue or A Man Alone tonight?
For a minor digital channel, I would indeed say that those are good viewing figures.
And regarding the Star Trek ad that Virgin are running. It says they have over 600hrs of Star Trek. Do you think they have the rights to all Trek shows?
Obviously the have DS9 & Ent. However, BBC2 have just finished with TOS and are currantly airing TNG, and Five did have VOY.

PS- What is the show Virgin are advertising with William Shatner?

Damned if I know. Either Living or Bravo has Boston Legal, I forget which as the numbers are similar. It could be TJ Hooker or something of that kind.
Given that IIRC there's something like seven hundred hours, I'd assume that Virgin has DS9, ENT, and either TNG or VOY.
