Frank, I don't think it's aired in Australia.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Was Australia really the only un-American location, though? I find that...odd. We used to have a thread for the Canadians specifically, but I don't remember this one being country-specific.
I'll ask in Bureaublahblah.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I think it's rather that we seem to get shows after Canada and the UK. We are, if you like, the backstop of English-language televeision.

Yeah, ita filled me in on the thought-process that went on with the thread. I'd completely forgotten, probably because the TV discussions in here lately have been about shows that haven't aired in the US yet.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Reminding me that I've at least enjoyed the finale of one show recently: Ashes to Ashes increases BBC Friday night viewership by over 30% to nearly 6 million [link] [An otherwise rather dull article. No spoilers that I can see.]
Remember the days when sci-fi/fantasy-influenced shows did the BBC no ratings favours? I wonder if it's American imports, including Buffy, that have changed all that.

Here's a link to the blog of the guy who wrote the Guardian piece. He's got a lot more Ashes stuff and expanded interviews with Matthew Graham:
Just today I remembered one of my favourite bits from the last episode. How do you know somebody is the devil? Because they make you listen to Club Tropicana on a loop during a four-hour car journey. Hah!

Is anyone else watching the Eurovision semis? Lithuania were genius.

I would like to hear about about these genius Lithuanians.

It's a group of five guys and at the end of their number they rip off their trousers and are wearing sparkly tight shorts underneath. If that's not a touch of Eurovision genius I don't know what is.
I'll try to find it on youtube...
