Where were the fireworks on tv last night?

After all the ballyhoo about Uncle Ken's new year fireworks display, we decided to stay in and curled up in front of BBC1 at 11:30 pm on new year's eve to see them, but never saw anything more than a few quick scenes lasting a total of about 5 seconds on tvs scattered around the studio, whilst a music show was taking place.

What did we do wrong ?

Sky News and BBC News 24 both carried the London Eye fireworks live and in full.

Thanks James,

Not much use to those of us who don't subscribe !!

No subscription needed if you have a Freeview box!

Charles - As the fireworks lasted only about 2.5 minutes, maybe you saw more of them than you thought....

James - what's a Freeview box? I don't have a telly at all at the moment, largely because, on a low income, I'm not prepared to spend over £2 a week on the licence fee when so much of the terrestrial (I think that's what it's called) TV seems to be soaps & so-called reality TV, both of which I hate. But if I could get Sky etc for zilch, I'd think again. Can you or someone please explain, in simple language for people wot don't know anything about TV? Thanks

Hilary - I've started a new thread in the Chatter section to answer your question about Freeview

Just realised my mistake and moved it from Feedback to Chatter!
