Let's talk about Freeview. We all love it, right? It's free TV. What's not to like?
But I have a confession. Something I need to get off my chest. It's about 5STAR and its +1.
The 5STAR Situation
5STAR. Home of reality TV gold. And guilty pleasures galore!
It's the channel you pretend you don't watch. Then secretly binge on after everyone's asleep.
They even have shows with names so outrageous, you can't help but tune in. You know the ones I mean.
Where's the +1 Love?
Here's my controversial take: Where is 5STAR+1? Why isn't it a thing?
Seriously! Every other channel seems to have one. Is 5STAR too cool for a +1?
I mean, E4+1 exists. Dave+1. Even some of the shopping channels have a +1!
Are they suggesting we need to buy more *stuff* an hour later? I don't know!
So why not 5STAR+1? I need answers.
A Practical Need
Think about it. You're making dinner. That crucial episode of *Brand New Dream Home* is about to start.
Suddenly, disaster! The spag bol volcano erupts. Tomato sauce everywhere!
You miss the first ten minutes! Tragedy!
With 5STAR+1, you could simply catch up an hour later. Problem solved.
Or maybe the kids are hogging the TV. Or the dog needs a walk. Life happens!
A 5STAR+1 would be a lifesaver. It's common sense.
The Benefits Are Clear
Imagine the possibilities. Double the viewing time! Double the drama!
Think of the joy of watching *Naked Attraction* twice in one night!
(Okay, maybe not. But you get my point.)
A +1 channel means no more missing out on the juicy bits.
No more frantic searching online for catch-up. Just pure, unadulterated 5STAR goodness.
But, on a one hour delay of course!
The Unpopular Opinion
I know, I know. Some people might say, "Just use catch-up!"
But catch-up isn't the same. It requires effort. Buttons. Choices!
A +1 is simple. Effortless. Just one click away.
And let's be honest, who wants to deal with navigating complicated menus when they could be watching a dating show where everyone is wearing minimal clothing?
So, Freeview powers that be. Hear my plea!
Give the people what they want. Give us 5STAR+1!
It's time to make this a reality. My life depends on it (okay, maybe not. But my entertainment does).
Thank you for listening to my very important, and very serious, complaint. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important date with *The Bachelor*.
