A sickening excuse for a television channel, broadcast terrestrial in the UK and via cable and sattelite everywhere else.
Five likes to showcase programmes about freaks. It will claim that they are documenting the struggle for a normal life of some two-headed girl, or guy with 10 legs. In fact, five is just exploiting the fact that people like to look at people with serious deformities, in a way they can tell themselves is acceptable cause it's a "documentary".
Five also shows old movies during the day that nobody wants to watch, and occasionally a good on like terminator.
John is 35 years old, overweight, bald, unemployed, and hasnt had sex in 9 years.
John sits at home on tuesdays and watches the afternoon movie at 14:00 on Five.
John realises how loser-y he is later that day, so he switches on the TV and watche a "documentary" called "the guy with a tricycle for an arm" on five; which makes him feel better about his own life, although watching Five made him feel slightly dirty and unclean.
