In March 2011 Discovery launched a UK website giving schedules for all its channels as well as guides to shows, image galleries and video clips. There is also a newsletter for receiving up-to-date news. However, this is still quite basic compared with the American Discovery Channel website which has quite elaborate pages for a much wider range of programmes featuring games and blogs as well as information on DVD availability.

This site provides details on TV programmes mainly from the UK, as well as America, Canada, Australia and a smattering of items from other countries. The entries provide only the most basic information (transmission dates, number of episodes, main cast and credits and a one line description), but the breadth of information is the main attraction. There are also over a hundred episode guides. Searches are by title only, although some types of programmes (soaps, sitcoms, children’s tv, quiz shows etc) have been clustered together. Though the site is neither particularly elegant to look at nor flexible to use, and the details are on the scanty side, it contains much valuable information and is of great nostalgic value for those so inclined. Other sections of the site give DVD, television and film news and reviews with a US-slant. This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 26/09/2010. This does not include access to the moving images.

BBC2’s flagship late-night news programme began transmission in January 1980. Always courting controversy, not least for the aggressive interview style of its presenters, it remains one of the most distinguished current affairs programme on British television. The Newsnight homepage on the BBCi website includes a good general overview of the programme’s history, and also includes a number of extended clips from the programme which require RealPlayer to view. Amongst the clips is the notorious grilling that presenter Jeremy Paxman gave to Michael Howard MP in the run-up to the 1997 General Election. The site also includes blogs from Mark Urban, Newsnight’s diplomatic and defence editor, and Paul Mason, the programme’s economics editor.
