If your video is set to record your weekly fix of _Daria_ from C5 at 1555, or if you reset it to 1605 to catch last week's episode, then you might want to note that next Saturday (24/6/00) it's on at 1200. The episode should be "Pierce Me"
For a page I've cobbled together to run a Digiguide search for Daria, see: URL: http://www.sylvesternet.freeserve.co.uk/members/daria/on-next.htm
Martin, Thanks for the Daria search page, I've added it to my favs. I had no idea that MTV UK were showing Daria so often. Does anyone know what episodes they are currently showing? Have they aired any of series 4 yet?
Maybe I should subscribe to Sky now.. Jeremy.

I'll have to check out the alleged showings (there's been no MTV Daria listings in "Cable & Satellite Week" for some time), but I still think that MTV UK's publicity dept (or whoever releases the programme listngs to the press) has no idea what's actually being broadcast, and the station technicians have no idea of what they're supposed to broadcast. Unless it's live or has Richard Blackwood in it.
Paranoid thought: by keeping the printed programme listings inconsistent with the programmes actually shown, they hope people will watch their channel all the time in the hopes of catching that one programme they do want to watch?

Thanks for the info, Bear. I don't have MTV. Perhaps you can, if you choose, keep a list of how often it's right or wrong? Then with your feedback I can add to the page an objective statement about the reliability of MTV's information on Digiguide (eg, "Between June 25th and July 25th the accuracy was checked on N occassions, and was correct X times.").
They make C5 look good. ;:-)
Who was that philosopher who urged pessimism as the key to happiness: expect everything to go wrong, and your surprises will be pleasant ones?
MTV Extra's a digital channel? Either way, I can't get that one. I shall continue to observe MTV:UK.
There was a random showing one Saturday noon-time, which I caught by accident. Don't know if there's been anymore, as I have better things to do than watch MTV on a Saturday morning (or watch MTV at any time, really ;P). There was also a late-night "marathon" of 4 episodes, which I almost missed, since I only found out that night. Which was surprising, because it was actually listed as being on in Cable and Satellite Week.
C&SW, and the monthly Cable Guide I get sent, usually run a mention whenever a new season of Daria is starting, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for that. Otherwise there's no sign of any Daria at all.
Thanks for the info. Yes, MTV Extra is a digital channel. Let us know if you see any announcements for S4 on MTV, I might be able to arrange a friend to tape it for me.
If we didn't know what the ep was (i.e. 212) then that sorta description might keep a cirtain monority of the 'shippers happy :) hehhehe anyone wanna draw some pics :)
