I was the same with "SBS" here in Australia, (where I first saw FÅ about 15 years ago), and "World Movies Channel" on pay TV.
Always had a browse through their week's programs so I could record anything that took my fancy. *:)*


Yes, I completely accidentally caught the rather wonderful REC on SBS the first time. I'd taped something else before it and let it run, and had no idea what the hell it was. Completely blew me away. :D

We got the British stations like BBC, BBC 2, ITV and Channel 4. this is before all Satellite channel's and stuff kicked in, was a bit expensive back for anyone to splash on. Channel 4 used to be great to screen foreign film's and I caught all of Bergman's film's when they screened a season of his films every Sunday night after 12 for weeks. Then once they set up their own film channel (which back then you had to pay for) so that screwed that up. BBC 2 was great too, but once they created BBC 3 then just stuck all foreign and Indie films on there, lucky during that time they screened Fucking Amal that it was free channel, a few weeks later it went straight to the Satellite channel's.


Irish station I was talking about "RTE 2" always had foreign films on but they always changed the days. In the 90's they used to be on Wednesday nights but then they moved them to Monday's in the wee hours of the morning (i was secondary school then, High school I think it's called in Australia, so unless the films was must see I wouldn't stay up), then finally they moved it to Saturday night's and screened two foreign films back to back. Fucking Amal was the second film on that night, that's the last time it was screened on Irish TV.

It's still on SBS's program roster but I haven't noticed it being played in the last few years.
And now I guess I'd only watch it if it was the HD version because I already have it saved on my TV's hard drive , as well as having several DVD's.
I have so many because I developed an obsession about finding the best sub-titles I could and all my copies have slightly different subs.
Annoyingly none of them seem to be perfect. :T :lol:

I'd say 2001/2002 time for RTE 2 showing. I know the BBC 3 showing was 2003 and it was on a Saturday night cause they screened Moodysson's follow up Together before FA, as it was it's premiere.

What I want.

Just one copy, of everything.
Each of the DVD's.
Each of the posters.
All the books and mags.
Everything.

And especially Santi's calendar. *:)* *:)*



I think the guy on the right is part of the crew.
Apart from Bex and Lex all of the rest don't seem to be "on screen" people.

Although I think the guy on the left of the front row might be Axel Grigor. *:)*
