Me too. When we first got BBC America I was expecting that, and actually no commercials at all

wish they would stop running cash in the attic all the bloody time. All the better stuff seems to be on late night or on "the underground" and I'm usually falling :zzz: by then :rolleyes: Hubby says that most yanks don't get the wacked humor & thinks thats why they run the more current stuff late night.

Some advice for you - Get a DVR or 2!!! Sad, but true, it has made my life much happier. It records shows all times of the night & then I get to watch them while my son is napping, excellent! Today we will be watching 'Location, location, location', which is normally on at 4am. It's how I get my Brit Fix, because I barely get to watch TV, so when I do, I have all these wonderful shows waiting on my DVR for me!!! :D

So who is it and whats he been in?

Next I want to see re-runs of The Sweeney!

I was in an elevator in a Liverpool Hotel once with John Thawe. He was remarkably short, which has nothing to do with this thread.

I was in an elevator in Houston with a fella who claimed to be one of the coaches for the Houston Texans. He asked if he could buy my shirt :confused: He was remarkably fat - claimed it was for his girlfriend.....

August 20th BBC is doing a marathon of the first 4 episodes for anyone that has not seen it yet :)

did anyone see Eddie Izzards "Glorious" show that followed Life on Mars this week?


Eek :eek: It only held our attention for about 3 minutes....oh well after reading all the fab reviews I'll set the DVR for next Sunday and give it another go.

I was in an elevator in JFK airport once with Michael Barrymore. He was remarkably tall and I felt like saying 'awight' but then I thought better of it because he probably gets that all the time. This also has nothing to with this thread.

LOL. You're living every minute of whether they'll get £30 or £35.

Good to see you back in action JG. Are you typing with your toes?

it was a great series - my 11 year old found it very amusing; you can buy it on dvd from:

http://www.bbcshop.com/invt/ctd10365&bklist=<venda_bklist1>

there is supposed to be a new series coming out next year. (blast I'll miss it as I'll be in oz)
