thanks guys.
chris, i wouldn't know, i've never managed to squeeze through the doors. not for lack of trying though.
paul, you underestimate the amount of crap played on the american channels. mostly dramas or reality tv shows now. bbc america plays certain shows, but they're usually several weeks or more behind. the new series of doctor who starts on the 30th here. top gear is 8 days behind on bbca and i think only the first series of sherlock has been shown on pbs. those three shows and another called true blood (which i don't care for) are the most popular shows among the people i hang out with.
