All Taped Up

Mr Brown was going out with his colleagues straight from work the other day and was not getting home until late. However, there were 6 television programmes on 6 different channels that he wanted to see that night. Luckily each programme he wanted to see started at the same time that the previous one finished and all of the programmes would fit on one 4-hour tape running at standard speed. So he was able to get his 8-year-old nephew to program the video for him. From the following clues can you work out what time each programme started and what channel it was on?

Time programme started: 6:00, 6:45, 7:30, 8:00, 9:00, 9:30

Programmes: Fluffy the Umpire Sprayer, Fronds, Little Sister, News at 9, North End Street, The Smithsons

Channels: BBC1, BBC2, Channel 4, Channel 5, ITV, Sky 1

1. North End Street, Britain's favourite soap, started earlier than the programme on Sky 1, but later than the programme on Channel 4.

2. The very strange programme about a 16-year-old girl who goes round dousing cricket officials with her water pistol, Fluffy the Umpire Sprayer, was shown on BBC2. It was not the last of the shows to be taped, but was transmitted later than the American programme about plants, Fronds.

3. The Channel 5 programme (which was not the cartoon show, The Smithsons) started at 8:00.

4. Obviously News at 9 (which was not on Sky 1) started at 9:00.

5. Little Sister (a reality programme about a group of young people living together in a flat) was twice the length of North End Street.

6. The BBC1 programme was shown later than the ITV programme.
