I am probably very sad but I find the little digital switchover robot rather endearing and will miss him/her/it once the job is complete.

Today BBC2 analogue where I live has been turned off "permanently for ever" in the nice, tautologous words of the leaflet.

The plus part of the switchover is that BBC Alba (pronounced more-or-less as al-le-bu not al-bu) will now extend and reach more people.

So, later on today I will be re-tuning my digibox and waiting for the next set of annoying messages to tell me about final switchover in a couple of weeks time!
