There are 28 new films that have appeared, including Pixar's Cars; American Graffiti; Angela's Ashes; The Jerk; Monty Python's Meaning of Life; and Serenity (to go with the full series of Firelfly - yay!). And, as you may have heard, the entire second season of House of Cards.
Most of the news stuff is what I'd refer to as "Service Station" quality though, you know - the DVDs you see at the check out at a garage when paying for petrol, so I feel like it hasn't been a particularly great weekend for Netflix UK. Critics of the service often accuse the movies on the UK service as being second or even third rate, and this latest change will only reinforce that belief. I don't think it's as bad as some suggest, but this latest shuffle of the pack isn't hugely impressive if you ask me.
UPDATE (FEB 18th)
The Channel 4 series appear to have returned! Hurrah! I haven't checked them all but all of the ones I had in My Shows are back (Green Wing, IT Crowd, Father Ted, etc)

Interestingly one of the removed has reappeared. Derren Brown. Perhaps the others will come back over the next few weeks and this is just some sort of licencing transfer
Yay all the Channel 4 shows have reappeared! Who knows why except Netflix and C4!
I recall the same thing happened on US Netflix last year. I think shows expire by accident because someone hasn't updated the deal or entered the new dates.
Could really do with some new decent films though, the catalogue is looking tired.
