I was watching Kevin Macdonald's latest documentary, My Enemy's Enemy (2007), last night having recorded it while I was away. It was shown on More 4 and I noticed that they've started doing a really sneaky trick. The programme goes into the ad break without any indication or warning whatever. And then only has a very brief channel ID when it returns. There is no channel ID or the title of the programme shown when it goes into the break.

This documentary was about Klaus Barbie and there was quite a lot in French, Spanish (from when he was in Bolivia) and German, all of which had English subtitles. It was most confusing when they went into an ad break and the first thing they were advertising was a forthcoming programme which also had people talking in foreign languages which was also subtitled. It was as if the documentary had suddenly veered off into a totally unrelated subject.
