Dear Sir /Madam
I am at my wits end and I am turning to you for help although I know that my enquiry is probley not within your remit,I think you may be able to steer me in the right direction.A number of years ago Channel 5 done a programme/news clipping about the number of foreign children who had "gone missing"from Hillingdon Council`s care.As I recall the numbers were frighteningly high,and I now need to know where I might have sight of,or purchase a copy of this particular programme/news release.This issue is obviously in the public interest as it is very disturbing to think what has become of these "lost"souls.Many thanks in anticipation of receiving any help you can offer.

Tania:
Which TV channel are you wanting to watch? If the service you want is available via the Internet, you may be able to watch it that way, if it's allowed in your country of residence. If you are outside of the UK, you may well not be able to receive any Freeview signals at all and there may only be limited Freesat reception. Sky do not normally allow reception outside of the UK.

I assume your question is about Channel 5 scheduling? If so, contact them directly via Home | Channel 5

This website is entirely independent of any broadcaster, it is intended mainly to assist with reception problems, etc.

Starting Up Starting Over. Watched then discussed with a friend who was a farmers wife and I ran a animal rescue for 28 years. We both feel strongly that it would have been a good idea if the last 5-10 minutes of the programme had included discussion and views given by two experts. Very concerned, particularly since animals were involved in yesterday's episode , that clearly insufficient research took place before the place was purchased and that people might be influenced into buying a similar set up by the more glamorous issues like the baby donkey and little chicks. The focus was more positive than negative and misleading.

And its also clear that your insufficient research has led you to comment on a technical assistance site that has no connection whatsoever with either the broadcaster nor the production company.

Try posting on Channel 5s own website?
