Oh joy, 13 more new Dr. Who episodes! I’ll have to get used to the new doctor. I need to wash and wax my TARDIS, too. Meanwhile, BBC America is running the ludicrous, boring yet sensitive Being Human right now in Dr. Who’s spot, and shortening Graham Norton to get it in, which hacks me off even more. I wish they would acquire and run more mysteries like the Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes series, or maybe whatever is as good as Coupling. If you’re in Scotland, have you seen any advance clips of the new Dr. Who?

I would like to see “Spaced”! Why is nobody showing that series in the U.S.? There’s still plenty of classic British television that’s not seen in the U.S.

No.

David Tennant’s last two episodes (which will be at Christmas) havent even been hinted at. Not even any still pics from fan sites. Tne first clips of the new Dr Who will be at the end of the Xmas specials, as Tennant changes over to Smith.

Being Human is awful. I watched one episode and that was it. Doctor Who is great and can’t wait for the new season. Also enjoy Torchwood. Miss Wire in the Blood but the BBC series tend to be very short.

Of course I wish they’d have some new comedies of the quality of Faulty Towers, Are You Being Served, Yes Minister or the very gentle Vicar of Dibley. Those are all better than the US comedies! I suppose I should also toss in AbFab as well. My wife loves Keeping Up Appearances as well but it’s not one of my favorites.
