Europa Digital have a limited number of Freesat HD boxes available for only €299. Upgrade your current sat TV system to high definition and enhance your viewing pleasure. There is no subscription required on these boxes and both BBC and ITV HD can be received with many more channels expected over the coming months. You can’t even receive ITV HD with the Sky system. So many of us have bought HD ready televisions over the past year but are not getting the benefit from them because we have the old sky boxes which are in standard definition. With these new HD boxes picture quality will improve beyond comprehension. If you would like a demonstration please call into the Europa Digital offices on the top floor of the Parque Comercial in Mojacar.
Inbetweeners writer Iain Morris has confirmed that a movie of the show is in the works. Speaking exclusively to Europe Digital, Morris said that a script has been written, but they are yet to receive funding for the project. "We've written a film script because for me, the most defining experience of an 18-year-old boy is when you go on your first holiday with your mates," he said. "That would be exciting." He added: "I don't know how films work - I've never made a film before. We're written a script so we're just hoping Film4 will say, 'Here's the money, here's the helicopter, now go to Tenerife and film it!' "I think there'll probably have to be a few more conversations before that happens!" The Inbetweeners returns for its third series in 2010.
ITV1 has unveiled its 2009 Christmas lineup, which includes footage from Take That's recent tour and an Ant and Dec Christmas special. The Ant and Dec special will see the Geordie presenters host a show featuring sketches, performances and surprise guests - filmed in front of a live studio audience. In drama, Julia McKenzie returns as Marple, Poirot is back and John Hurt returns to the role of Quentin Crisp in An Englishman In New York, a follow-on from The Naked Civil Servant. Piers Morgan's Review Of The Year will see the Britain's Got Talent judge reflect on 2009, while Harry Hill offers an alternative perspective in TV Burp Review Of The Year. Additionally, ITV1 will broadcast Take That: The Circus Live, which includes footage from their Wembley performance earlier this year. Peter Fincham said of the schedule: "ITV1 has had a phenomenal Autumn, with our biggest hits such as The X Factor, I'm A Celebrity..., Harry Hill’s TV Burp and Doc Martin attracting bigger audiences than ever. "Our Christmas schedule has the same wide appeal, with big entertainment and factual specials, some much anticipated new drama and comedy one-offs - alongside all that you’d expect from ITV1 in soaps and films over the festive period." Other highlights include A Night Of

Sarah Lancashire and Ian Hart have signed up for BBC One's new drama Five Daughters, it has been announced. The three-part serial, written by Stephen Butchard, follows the Ipswich murders and subsequent police investigation in 2006. Jaime Winstone, Eva Birthistle, Natalie Press, Juliet Aubrey, Aisling Loftus, Kate Dickie, David Bradley, Lisa Millet, Ruth Negga, Kristen Wareing and Al Weaver have also landed parts. Butchard said of the drama: "These five young women, precious to their families, had heart, ambition and potential; until an event or events, one wrong turn, one chance meeting led them into the world of heroin and crack. "Their dependency on these drugs facilitated their easy exploitation and led them to the street. Our hope is that this drama provides a glimpse of the real girls their families knew."
Channel 4 has hired Derren Brown - The Events executive producer Justin Gorman as its new head of entertainment to replace Andrew Newman. In his role at independent production firm Objective, Gorman gained notoriety for producing Brown's groundbreaking series for Channel 4, including the high-profile How To Win The Lottery episode. From January 2010, he will take over from Newman, who moves in the opposite direction to take on a position at Objective. Reporting to head of Channel 4 Julian Bellamy, Gorman will oversee all commissioning of entertainment programming across the main channel and E4.

The freeing up of commissioning hours and cash brought about by the decision not to recommission Big Brother means there are a multitude of opportunities in this area," said Bellamy. "Great entertainment is a key part of Channel 4, and I look forward to working closely with Justin to find the next generation of groundbreaking entertainment shows for the channel."
