"It's the private companies that run the overground commuter networks in London that really need to be surveyed."

I can assure you that no one at Current ever lies about the tube when they are late for work. :)

**** 7 Marathons in 7 days on 7 Continents ***
User stuxwing is quite literally insane and Current is right behind him. Running 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 Continents is brave. Got any advice for Stuart? What should he be eating? What training should he be doing? How can he stop chaffing his nipples? Why not leave him a comment or webcam?

*** For God's Sake ***
This weekend on Current you can catch For God's Sake (premiering at 9pm on 13th December).

Despite the fact that there are over 170 religions in the UK, two thirds of young people don’t believe in anything at all. For God’s Sake takes a look at Britain’s unique religious landscape and asks what we believe in, if anything at all.

    • On Saturday the 13th and Sunday 14th December, Current TV premieres a season called For God’s Sake.

      Despite the fact that there are over 170 religions in the UK, two thirds of young people don’t believe in anything at all. For God’s Sake takes a look at Britain’s unique religious landscape and asks what we believe in, if anything at all.

      For God’s sake is a collection of short films about spirituality and religion, including “How I Found Utopia” exploring commune life in Italy; “Rude Girls go to Heaven”, a former bad girl who saw the light after a failed suicide attempt; “Sex in the Name of God”, and the timely “I’m an aetheist get me out of here”

      Then there’s the gospel according to music; with “Rapping for God” and apparent paradox of the Christian Death Metal band.

      The season also takes a look at the more extreme aspects of religion on people’s lives, from Sharia law to stringent Irish Catholic belief.

      For God’s Sake is at 9pm on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th December.

      Current TV is Sky channel 183 and Virgin channel 155, and at Current.com
