America sent it's trash tv programs to Britain via Sky...and now the UK sends it's trash programs to America via BBC America. My digital cable box has just been installed, and I've just watched East Enders for the first time in years. Have no idea what's going on, don't recognize most of the characters. Later on it's Coronation Street, then Bottom. And before my brain is completely turned to mush....Gormenghast premiers tomorrow night!! :-D

I remember that show. Dunno if it's still being made over here. There's actually an entire network devoted to game shows. It's frightening to flip past and see shows from the 70's....the fashions...the horror! ;-)
