Anyone into Inbetweeners? Funniest Britcom to come along in a while, really far from being PC - set in a UK 6th form (roughly last two years of high school). 3rd series just started and the highlights were guy in a wheelchair being a douche, pedo teacher and very visual testicle joke. BBC America shows it but censors the %*&$ out of the language which fucks it up - best watched on download.
Other Britstuff stuff. New Merlin season just started, very light entertainment but strangely compelling. Also new Spooks/MI-5 starts next week.
Just downloaded the first seasons of Misfits and Being Human - the latter at least showed on BBCA, anyone watch it?

I liked the SHERLOCK series of mini-movies that aired recently. Worth a look. I have been grabbing the Merlins and hope to start at season 1, ep 1 at some point. Also grabbed the recently aired Proms which I think has a sci-fi theme?
Why do you read that kind of crap, Art? Seriously, I don't get it.

Merlin is amusing - kind of walks the edge of intentional/unintentional humour. The Proms has done Dr Who in the past, did they do it again? So why on earth were you watching Jonathan Ross, do they show that on BBCA? Also just DL'ed Brian Cox's Wonders of the Universe series.
Still haven't worked our way through Primeval either, still 6 episodes of S3 to go I think - that show got dumber as it went along unfortunately but we'll stick with it in hope that the reboot will improve it.

Matt Smith was also a guest on Jonathan Ross that night. Was watching to see him and watched the whole show. Emma Thompson was on too.
On usenet anything with even a remote appearance of a Doctor Who actor gets uploaded to the Who group. So I sometimes get to see all kinds of Brit chat shows, but only one episode of them usually. There was a Graham Norton with Karen Gillan that was cool.
Proms are Doctor Who again this year with the new Doctor.

I had not heard of it. Looked around and have found it. Will check it out soon.
I understand he did a Jekyll and Hyde thing called Jeckyll. It seems somewhat in the spirit of his Sherlock. It is also on the list to watch at some point.

When did Kentucky get electricity?
Surprisingly, outside of the coalfields(Appalachia), Kentucky is a very progressive state. It is home to the first university on this side of the mountains, and during antebellum days, it was a leader in national politics. Too, its art and culture has long been recognized... well, the culture, maybe too much. The central part of the state is one of the only areas in the country that has something approaching an aristocracy.
In these days, it isn't as bad as it was, but still, old money rules, here. The nouveau riche are considered little better than the peasantry. But like I said, times aren't as bad as they were 40 or 50 years ago.
On topic: Doc Martin. I watch very little television; generally, just the news, but I have become fascinated with that show. And Caroline Catz... wow! I find her drop dead gorgeous.
