I haven't seen any Sinbad, but I did ahem the first of the BBC "Hollow Crown" Shakespeare adaptations, and watched Richard II last night.

It was gorgeous. Also very capably acted, with Ben Wishaw, Patrick Stewart, James Purefoy, and David Suchet in all the major roles. And stunningly shot, staged, and costumed. I can't wait to see the rest, since Jeremy Irons is Henry IV as an old man, and Tom Hiddleston is Henry V. It looks really promising.

Where are people discussing 'Episodes'? (If at all!)

I tried two 'episodes' and just couldn't hang with it. I like all the actors...loved Green Wing, or instance...but don't enjoy the story of Episodes.

I wasn't a Green Wing fan (loved Black Books though) but I'm enjoying Episodes. Just awkward enough to pass as British comedy.

I suppose this is an odd question,but is it possible somehow to gain access to another country's itunes?

I'd especially like to purchase singles by Joe Moore, currently performing on Australia's Got Talent.

Is there a legal/ethical way to do this?

Bonny, I think you need a valid CC for the country. But I have access to the US iTunes via a gift card from one of my Buffista secret santas.

It may also possible that someone from Aus. could gift you the music and you could pay them back. (I am not sure if this works, I have never gifted music outside of Canada.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Is anyone else watching Downton? Because I do not know what magic shipping potion they are using, but the ships I ship on this show? I assure I ship these ships more surely than any ships I have shipped before.

I watched Debet. What ships do you ship? It was a lovely episode for the most part. The only part that really bugged was the sudden appearance of this former suitor of Sibyl's. The whole little subplot seemed a v. awkward way to get Tom to be Matthew's best man.

I have to say that I thought Shirley McLaine's character would have more of a disruptive effect.

Tonight's ep. did not help with my Branson problem. I swear he had more screen time tonight than in all of Season 2. And hello Branson in a morning suit!

How are you guys seeing Downton Abbey? Is this the British airing?

Yep. It premiered tonight. I watched a livefeed online.
