It really is a very, very good show.

I recommend downloading it as a BitTorrent or springing for the DVDs if you can play Region 2. The high def widescreen justifies it. Don’t just watch it on BBC America, fullscreen and blurry.

Turns out that the disc I was given was missing one ep from in between the others, so what I referred to below (or above?) as ep 5 is really ep 6. The one I missed is the one where they’re undercover at the pub, which was a fantastic ep! Very funny. Very Gene-tastic.

I can hardly wait for S02 to finish downloading in the next day and a half.

I’m going to have to go find a swank job soon so I can buy HDTV stuff sometime in the next year. Gonna need a HD TV and a custom-built DVR with a multi Tb hard drive to store all this BBC crap on! And probably an HD antenna for local stuff. I would like the freedom to drop Comcast cable TV when they get to demanding that we pay $50 more per month for digital converter boxes.

I think the digital conversions (broadcast and cable) are going to be the beginning of the end of cable TV as a medium. The Internet will supersede cable TV once analog is largely unavailable and everybody is forced to pay through the nose for programming they don’t even like.
