Enjoyed TDS on More4, and was excited that it’s coming back. But then I read that it’s coming back if you have subscription TV.
So in fact the story is that The Daily Show has been removed from Freeview in the UK. What a shame 🙁
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the Jon Stewart daily show. Must get my fix of US political action as opposed to our winging biased UK BCC narrow version of the the world
