Cheated

Anyone watching Hostages on Ch4 on Saturday evenings? Great drama, find it quite compelling!

One moan though (of course!) - it is scheduled from 2100-2200, to me that is one hour - agreed? Last night the transmission began at 2204 - four minutes late. Then at 2211 came the first adverts which lasted another four minutes. After the drama resumed there were a further three ad breaks, all of our minutes in length. The final straw was that it ended at 2154 which I make six minutes short of an hour.

I feel cheated in that a programme scheduled for one hour should actually last for thirty eight (38) minutes. Anyone else feel the same?
