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.

Yup, it was an episode of The Goodies. I believe it ended with a sort of Bun Fight at the Ok Tearoom, or some such.
And a song. You can't forget the song. ...Ok, I've forgotten the song. Except the line about Graeme and "his pair of big red squirters". Make of that what you will.
Okay, End of Days? I loved almost everything about it.
I can't believe that there are only, like, 43 minutes of Buffy left EVER. So much stuff I want to happen, not enough time. Gah. This time next week it will all be over. I'm all red in the face and I'm crackling with nervous energy. I don't want their story to be over. I don't want to stop visiting this world, these people. I try to be practical, thinking about casting and networks and the nature of fiction and movie careers and potential shark jumping, but it doesn't alleviate this feeling of loss, like a close friend is moving away and doesn't want to stay in touch with me any more.
ETA: Americans have been dealing with this feeling for, what, 2 months? Has it sunk in yet? When would the new season usually be starting?
Trawling the archives, and this exchange gave me goosebumps for some reason...
Steph L.: Just randomly....
I'm watching the re-run on FX, and I'll tell you -- Xander with two eyes just makes me want to cry. I want to warn him what's going to happen.
justkim: With Steph. Especially when Buffy asks Xander why his eye keeps twitching when she mentions Faith, and he covers his left eye.
Poor one-eyed Xander.

Ooooooh! I remember that episode! The premise was that they inherit, or win, or find, a cream mine and the wealth corrupts them and they become deadly rivals.
The argument's been had before - i remember FJ, ita and I discussing it on TT - but the problem is not that Scone can't be pronounced to rhyme with bone, but that that pronounciation doesn't gel with Giles' accent. I don't know the rules precisely, but i do know that RP in (what Giles {&I} talks a variant of) scone rhymes with gone.
BTW ... does anyone else know the proper ingredients for scones? :)
Is that a serious question, jimi? I have pretty good recipes for normal scones and cheese scones at home, which I can post or email as required.
Normal scones should, of course, be eaten with cream and strawberry jam. I prefer to spread the cream on like butter and put the jam on top, but like the pronunciation that's another point of contention in the scone world.
It's a serious question. I have my Mum's recipe for scones and I regularly make plain and sultana scones but the recipe isn't a proper traditional recipe. Ain't no fucking way I'll eat one of those suckers!

Fiona! Did you see my post about how much fun we had with just the first time we got to use your tapes? In case you didn't, it's here.
Oh, and the 'we' in that sentence doesn't mean I suddenly crowned myself or anything, just that I watched "Serenity" with 3 friends, and all of us very much liked it.
