Slapstick Classics
Slapstick Classics is the channel you can leave on with the sound down. Most of what it plays barely needs words: chases, pratfalls, anvils and frying pans, from the golden-age theatrical shorts through to Oggy and Mr. Bean. It's the closest thing to the cartoon blocks that used to fill the gaps between everything else on TV.
Because so much of it is wordless, it's the easiest channel to share with family members of any age, or anyone who doesn't speak English.

When a programme finishes early, Slapstick Classics fills the gap with shorts from Popeye the Sailor, The Pink Panther and Tom and Jerry and a few others, then shows an "up next" card.
