Digital Spy is/was a very popular website/forum with over 20,000 members, many of them actors etc. It deals with TV/Film etc. It has suddenly disappeared. I have trawled the Internet, the most I can find out is that Sky were threatening to shut the site down.

This is what someone else says:

DigitalSpy.co.uk is a website featuring media news, gaming news, entertainment news, a forum and more! The gaming section is fairly new. And since its a media site and not gaming site, i don't expect anything good from it really, as i visit digital spy for media and entertianment news, also for a chat in the forums ;-)
There media news is updated daily (usally, if there is media news!) and entertainment daily also. They have live coverage from majoy entertainment events, like Edinburgh film festival and the BAFTA Awards.
They have a lot of news correspondants, making sure that there site visitors get as much media/entertianment and gaming news as possible! Although sometimes they are slow on the news and the "correspondants" sometimes find out about the news for DS from another website or on their forum (posted by a member...).
There forums have thousands and thousands of users, so when you post a new thread you can expect a reply! There are many discussions on the latest media and entertainment matters, such as a huge debate on Sky's basic channels being removed from Virgin Media (which is an abuse of power, as skys channels have some good programmes and there making Sky the only choice if you want to see them!).
I find their advertisements very pussy and they seem to be all over the place... Bottom, top, left and right!
Overall digitalspy.co.uk is a great website with media news, forum discussions, live coverage of events and more...
Thanks for reading my review,
Andrew.

Thanks Sweetpea, I have to say I hadn't heard of it, I'll have to get out more, or on the net more to be more precise

Smilie Central. If you use them, only 'copy graphic', do not copy and paste as it puts adware on the site.

Doesn't sound like it.

It is a really good site for techno info, even if you don't use the forums. But you can get good advice on stuff there.
