And reverting from a temporary change - Sky Buddy Films will change its name to Sky Comedy HD Sky Hits will change to Antiheroes HD in a temporary change. And Sky Family will be renamed to SkySchoolsOut / SchoolsOutHD. Sky is bringing back TWO channels tomorrow after they disappeared from TV guides The reasons behind channel changes The broadcasting giant typically only announces channel swaps for Sky customers for the week ahead. These TV guide shake-ups can take place for a number of reasons. Sometimes Sky will be forced to close channels – either due to a lack of interest, or because the channel operator has decided to pull it. But Sky doesn't run all channels broadcast on TV, so some closures are out of their control. Sky will also rebrand channels due to demand, to test a content type, or to tie in with an event or holiday (like Easter weekend). The TV titan made dozens of these changes in April, including the permanent closure of several channels. Shut-down channels included POP Max, POP Max HD, POP Max+1, Sky History+1, and the satellite broadcast of Sky History 2 HD.

It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes. And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women. Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now. That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign. The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives. Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support: CALM, Heads Together, HUMEN Mind, Papyrus, Samaritans,

Two Doors Down's shock return confirmed as BBC reveal fresh details
TELLY bosses have confirmed that hit sitcom Two Doors Down is coming back for a Christmas special. The comedy favourite was shelved after the last series following the tragic death of co-creator Simon Carlye. 2 Beth and Eric welcome their neighbours 2 Cathy and Colin are also back But The Scottish Sun exclusively revealed in March that the sitcom would be making a shock comeback to be screened over the festive period. Now the BBC has confirmed the residents of Latimer Crescent will be back on screens in December. The whole gang will congregate at Beth (Arabella Weir) and Eric's (Alex Norton) house to celebrate Christmas 2025. The neighbours are all back, including sweary Christine (Elaine C Smith), Cathy (Doon Mackichan) and Colin (Jonathan Watson). Meanwhile, Alan (played by Grado aka Graeme Stevely) and Michelle (Joy McAvoy), plus Beth and Eric's son Ian (Jamie Quinn) and his fiancé Gordon (Kieran Hodgson) complete the neighbourly group. Gregor Sharp, who has written the new special, says: 'It's really exciting to be revisiting Latimer Crescent with all the regular cast for this new episode. "Christmas is a time for getting together with friends and family and then becoming low level irritated by them so it feels like they're the perfect group to celebrate the season with.' Two Doors Down started as a one-off special in 2013. Created and written by Simon and Gregor, there have been seven series and three previous Christmas specials of the hugely popular show. BBC Director of Comedy Jon Petrie added: 'There's something comforting about having the neighbours round for Christmas, even if they bring minor chaos. Two Doors Down star in unearthed Kids Say Funniest Things clip on anniversary "Gregor and the gang bring the warm laughs, sly digs and brilliantly petty moments that make Two Doors Down such a cracking comedy. "Expect it to sparkle on BBC iPlayer and BBC One faster than Cathy can pop a prosecco.' And Josh Cole, Head of Comedy at BBC Studios Productions, and Steven Canny, Executive Producer, say: 'We're so pleased to be returning to Latimer Crescent and can't wait for the audience to be back in Beth and Eric's for another tortuous Christmas. "Gregor and Simon created a brilliantly funny show that has an outstanding cast of memorable and lovable characters and we're hugely looking forward to seeing them torment each other again.' Louise Thornton, BBC Scotland's Head of Commissioning, meanwhile said: 'I'm delighted to be working with our network comedy colleagues to bring Two Doors Down back to our screens for a festive special. "It holds a very special place in the heart of our audiences and we're looking forward to seeing what Christmas treats will be unwrapped with our friends at Latimer Crescent.'
