"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Yes. The "Australian Version", oddly enough.
A frog he went a wooing-oh "Hey ho" sang Rowley For whether his mother would let him or no With a roly poly gammon and spinach "Hey ho" sang Anthony Rowley!
So, is gammon and spinach a common meal in Britain? Social/cultural connotations behind it?

In all the excitement about Buffy, I almost forgot that Australia got the first episode of The Office tonight. Oh yeah!

Not in my family. However, Google UK provides 21 hits, of which slightly less than half are the children's song.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Angus, I understand what you mean about the crying. Since I've been taking anti-depressants, I cry a lot less (belieive it or not) but when I watched Angel Season ! "I Will Remember You" I was just a wreck. I felt like Buffy in the "But theirs was a perfect love" sobbing episode. Was that Triangle?

Art Crawl!!!
So, "The Office" really is good? I've seen ads on BBC-America but none of them seemed funny. (Plus, lots of Thursday night conflict.)

It transcends funny, sumi.

It goes all the way past funny into excrutiatingly painful and cringe-making. IMHO. I can't watch it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I watched most of it. It was hilarious, and painful. In a good way, but intensely watch-from-the-hall. I had to switch channels after the boss (what's his name?) tells his secretary that he's firing her, and then tells her it's a practical joke. I was literally squirming with embarrassment.
Edit: or, what Am-Chau said.

Gammon stake with chips and peas. Classic pub meal. Very yummy.
