I presume you are talking about Carlton's CENTRAL NEWS WEST?
The answer to your question is NO!

They record CENTRAL NEWS West half an hour before 6.00 when it is transmitted. More reasons to cut it

Without wanting to get involved in any more spurious penii conversations, does anyone know if series 2 of 'The Kingdom'(lars Von Trier's medical drama) is getting a UK release/broadcast? They showed it on Australian TV recently.

And buy 'The Idiots' on video. You'll never regret it, although Tartan could surely do cheaper pressings of it.

The Idiots was censored on 4. Blurring/pixellation and that.

Never mind erect cocks. You couldn't see the shots of the hand-held mics due to the screen dimension.

Yeah, shouldn't Dogme be in 1.33:1 screen ratio?

Lars Von Trier works best in widescreen, but Dogme should be bog-standard. I love the way he celebrates his recording format.

Oh, and I saw 'This Is A Dogme Film' on Film Four a few months ago and the Korine clips still play heavy on my mind. He's just as good as his hero, Alan Clarke, which is rare. He also wrote a bizarre novel called 'A Crack Up At The Race Riots'(Faber) which is worth reading in a bookshop.
