Digital switchover is almost upon my area. The old analogue TVs are within weeks of obsolescence. As those who have already made the leap will testify, there are many reasons to be cheerful about this. For one thing there are elderly people out there who have never seen The Bourne Identity. It was, as we all know, written into Freeview’s articles of incorporation that there should always be one of the Bourne movies showing – preferably the middle one. Don’t misunderstand me; I value that fact that with Freeview you can be certain there is always a good film on telly; I just wish it wasn’t always the same good film. I’m not knocking the Bourne films; it’s just that they lose something on the seventh showing.
数字电视转换马上就要进行到我所在的区域了。老式的模拟电视在几周之内就会被淘汰。已经经历了这一跨越的人将能证明，有许多理由为此欢呼。首先，有许多老年人还没有看过电影《伯恩的身份》（The Bourne Identity，又译作《谍影重重》）。我们都知道，在Freeview的公司章程中写明了，总会有一部伯恩系列电影在播放——最好是第二部。不要误解我的意思。对于有了Freeview、你总能保证电视上在播放一部好电影这一点，我表示认同。我只是希望，不要永远是同一部好电影。我不是在批评伯恩系列电影，只不过，在播放到第七遍的时候，某些东西就失去味道了。
