Why, in God's name why? Surely even a kid in Arkansas can understand Ringo Starr?

Father Ted is on BBCA this afternoon at 1:30pm CST.
It's the "Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse" episode - love it.

I don't watch ee myself, but the wife used to like it. Still manages to get it via the web, but it's not the same.

In the Bay Area they show it on Mondays and Tuesday at 7:00pm but it's about 3 years old.

Re: TV Shows you want
I've just seen the TV guide on BBC UK.
There is a programme called "Mirror, Signal, Manouevre" which is a fly-on-the-wall portrayal of learner drivers in the UK.
It would make fascinating viewing for the American public, methinks.....

Re: TV Shows you want
If you guys are after what's good on UK telly at the moment, I'd go no further than to reccomend 'Peep Show'.
Quality stuff, kind of 'Game On' meets 'The Office' to put it crudely.
Already being remade for the States it seems too:
