And an extra hour of nightshows .
Although seeing as its a Saturday night it may be of no real value or consequence.

You could replace ' a Saturday night' with '2015', and you'd still be correct!

IIRC, in the past, they've ran for an extra hour.

Can we turn the clock back years instead of by one hour please?

^ Yes, please!

Well I think they wouldn't give up an extra hour of night time revenue. It must be a nice bonus.

In the grand scheme of things, they're only getting back the hour they lost in the Spring.

Well Lexi Lowe mentioned last night that we were getting her for an extra hour (and hoped we appreciated the extra time).

Unleashed ran as usual though and weren't tempted to add an hour, but they don't run for an hour less in the Spring either.

Although "fall" is used in the US instead of autumn, it is not a relatively modern Americanism as it originated as was used as an English word. The exact derivation is unclear, with the Old English fiæll or feallan and the Old Norse fall all being possible candidates, and refers of course to leaves or fruit falling from trees (it was on Countdown's "origins of words" a couple of weeks ago!).

Pitch black outside already, can the nightshows start now instead of haviing to wait till 10pm

^ know what you mean so as I'm missing her I'm watching a recording of Danni Levy just now
