i'm not one for moaning or complaining , i normally think thats for prople who have to much time on there hands. but the other day i was watching channel 4 at dinner time when an advert which was advertising a programe about farming came on , now i am not atall shocked by farm life as i do live in rural devon,although i am a vegatarian. but the advert came on as to begin with as if it was going to be somthing nice to watch playing in the back ground old mcdonald had a farm and showed chicks as it went into the advert it went into animals being killed not showing the killing but the results , and after watching that advert i realised where those poor chicks where going and it actually upset me because of the way the advert was potrayed at the begging. i am very upset by it.

I would like to point out that the UK and the USA seem to have totally different viewpoints when it comes to people who are 'possessed'by evil beings.Having viewed Virgin1's program 'The Real Exorcist' it seems pretty plain to me that rather than being sectioned under the Mental Health Act, as was suggested in part of the program, poor Ruth would benefit from a session with Bob Larson. We in the UK ought to at least open our minds to other possibilities when looking for reasons for people hearing such voices. The likenesses between the woman on last weeks Real Exorcist and to Ruth were uncanny.... and surely worth following up, even just for Ruth's sake.

I feel very strongly that Jon Snow interrupts interviewees to much -- except when it's Government Ministers.

Opposition spokesmen, and people from other walks of life, never seem to get a chance to finish what they're saying or, if they do, I can't hear it because of Snow's interruption.

I'm not at all surprised C4 have received so many scheduling complaints when they continue to shuffle things around with no discernible purpose. West Wing for instance, not for the first time in it's life, now finds itself (I suspect for Series 5 alone) tucked away in an unwatchable slot at 23:50 on Saturday nights. After sending an e-mail berating More4 for this decision, and a few e-mails in return stating how difficult the process is, but not offering any valid reason, I finally received an e-mail explaining that the 9pm slot was being used to reshow some of C4's dramas, eg Poppy Shakespeare. Fine, I have no problem with that, C4 as a group do excellent groundbreaking work in that area. However, this Saturday, leading up to Poppy Shakespeare, More4 have 5 hours 35 minutes of re-runs of Relocation, Relocation, Is that a valid use of scheduling? Why can't TWW be brought forward to 8pm on Saturday, or moved back to 8pm on Sunday - wait, Sundays are out because there are 2 hours 5 minut

Kirsty-emm, Glad you love the OC. Currently O.C . series 2 is re-running in the mornings on Channel 4 at around 10am, then straight onto series 3 (school holidays). There has only been four series made - no plans for a 5th that I am aware of - so there are no new episodes to screen, I'm afraid.

At last the media and specifically channel 4 has been brave enough to open up a debate on immigration in the UK and air some of the concerns across the spectrum.

Excellent.

I have just watched Cutting Edge "The Human Spider". What crazy editing. The program was about an outstanding athlete but every sequence of him climbing was cut to ribbons with chopped sequences of very short clips. We never got a clear view of him climbing. I thought the point of television was to show you what was going on not to prevent you from seeing the action properly

I watched chanel 4's film adaptation of Clare Allen's 'Poppy Shakespeare' last night, and i felt the need to congratulate channel 4 for airing such a brilliant programme. At 16 years of age, for most of my life i have had to care for my mother who suffers from a mental health issue. She has a suvere from of bipolar, as well as aggraphobia. I believe that the mental health service has failed my mother time and time again, and she has been neglected quite badly. I could really relate to this programme, and its fantastic that you have made a point of brodcasting how people are neglected and treated badly in this country. Its about time we stopped sugar coating how things really are and face up to the facts. I believe that the warning that came before this programme were quite sufficient, and it was actually made very clear that the programme contained 'scenes that some viewers may find disturbing'. Its time people realised how badly mental health patients are treated by those paid to care

Whilst I appreciate the above as a piece of accomplished drama, I feel that you showed a severe lack of responsibility by not warning viewers of the acutely distressing content of the programme. You issued a recorded message but, this was insufficient. The programme was distressing. I realise, of course, that you were alerting us to what the government, in its wisdom, is doing to mental health services, but, and it is a BIG but...I am left with a feeling of great anxiety for those vulnerable souls, who might have been considering asking for help for mental health issues. Purely by coincidence, I visitd my GP today. I have Von-Recklinheusen's Neuro-fibro-matosis (look it up)A broken neck, and dreadful scarring from MRSA acquired from botched breast cancer surgery. I needed my GP's assurance that it was quite normal to feel overwhelmed from time to time. Had I watched this prog before my appointment, it would have terrified me to the extent that I would not have kept the appointment.

I loved the OC on channel 4 and i was wondering when it was next going to be shown?
