Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

It's true, actually.
OK double-must-see-TV.
I watched the whole of the first season of the Office over two days, because I got lent a preview copy on video.
I have to say that some of it was so unbearable that I watched from behind a cushion, some was so unbearable that I watched from the hallway, and some was so unbearable that I just couldn't bear it and had to fast-forward -- specifically, the episode where he sang and played guitar.
Now I'm burning with curiosity as to what Angus is burning with curiosity about, though I too have a guess....
I imagine your guess was correct, Fiona. It's not as though gossip-worthy things happen over there all that often...
Thanks for the e-mail Jim.
On a more Aussie note, looking forward to the new Denton series. But could that Micallef thing be any lamer? I've always been undecided about whether he's actually talented or not.
The second series is even more painful.
The Comic Relief episode is the most brutal half hour I've seen under the title "sitcom".
John H, if you're still around, what sort of format is the new Denton? Comparable to any of his previous stuff?

Oh god. And what happens to Tim and Dawn? No, don't tell me.

I don't know much about it, I'll let you know on Monday, it'll come up in a meeting.
Hey, nosy lurking American here. The biggest problem I have in speaking to UKians is when we have the same word but it means something else...like(simple example, of course) pudding. US pudding=very soft, yogurt or ice cream consistency...specific word for specific dessert. Not in UK. Don't spend time with a lot of Brits, Scots, or whoever, in real life Zoe, but I read a lot. Of course the danger of that is finding something in a book, saying it, and hearing: "Yes, that was popular in Agatha Christie in 1937. Grandmum was very fond of it."I have the UnAmericans to keep me modern.
When I was a kid, every so often someone from the Marvel Comics universe would come to England, or meet an English character, and they would all without exception have an annoying cockney accent, if not actually use rhyming slang.
I got the impression that the USA's impressions of the UK were formed from the experiences of GIs stationed in central London for two weeks in 1942.
Exactly the thing I would want to avoid, John(Well, the idea, anyway.) Cause, until recently, the stuff we saw of "yours" would be only modern on occasion...PBS not known for the hip and happening, but even they have changed their attitude lately, with cable.

Also Dorothy Sayers and Agatha Christie novels.
Wrod, Betsy. Which, mad props to them, but that was like "their" England, not necessarily the one Fay gets up in now. But they did increase my curiosity about places I hadn't been to, which is good for teenagers, I think.
