Popular Culture
Long before the channel existed, many parodies of a channel called "BBC 3" were aired. One of these was in the Doctor Who serial The Dæmons, where the station "BBC 3 TV" is having problems airing a show titled Devil's Night. Another was in Roland Rat: The Series where a parody of the BBC Two 'TWO' ident, which features the words "TWO", instead features the words "THREE".

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“The genius of American culture and its integrity comes from fidelity to the light. Plain as day, we say. Happy as the day is long. Early to bed, early to rise. American virtues are daylight virtues: honesty, integrity, plain speech. We say yes when we mean yes and no when we mean no, and all else comes from the evil one. America presumes innocence and even the right to happiness.”
—Richard Rodriguez (b. 1944)
