Well I have to say there has been a few new programs on BBC America worth watching of late, last night "Nylon" about a couple's transatlantic relationship, which a lote of us have already been through, and "Teen's" yes it's about bad one's back home and how there parent's cope with them. Were'nt we all a bit wild.

I like Sea of Souls and Bodies right now. Some good stuff at last!

I think I miss just having "normal" TV. News that is just that, and less "in your face" TV designed for people with an attention span of more than a few minutes.

Bugger! Isn't Bones on tonight? Keep wanting to watch it, then forgetting. Suppose I've got too used to being sprawled out on the sofa watching Survivor/Apprentice on Thursday nights.
