RIP BBC3?

On Thursday 6th March the BBC announced their plans to close BBC3 as a broadcast TV Channel as of 2015.

If the proposals are accepted by the BBC Trust BBC3, which is home to popular shows such as Don’t Tell the Bride and Russell Howard’s Good News, will become an online only service.

The BBC claim this change to the BBC3’s format will save them 50 million pounds a year and also enable them to put more money behind drama programmes on BBC1.

The proposals have caused a public outcry. Petitions have been set up to stop the closure, with celebrities such as David...

Sports has always had the great power to unite people no matter what race, religion, nationality, gender or social background they belong to. South Africa being one of the most diverse countries on the planet in terms of ethnicity, culture and geography has used the power of sports to unite its people together under one umbrella more than other countries.

Preview - Plymouth Argyle v Exeter City

This time last season when these two sides met on the 30th March at Home Park it was the Green half of Devon who claimed the bragging rights after beating the Grecians by a goal to nil.

It is completely the opposite now as Exeter sit 17th and their neighbours in 9th.

The city faithful will go into this derby fixture buoyed by their teams battering of the Cod army (Fleetwood) 3-0 on Saturday. Even so,...
