"You... you anteater!"

Returning shows I'm interested in:

  • Chuck: January 10

  • Leverage: January 13

  • 24: January 17

  • Lost: February 2

I know I shouldn't even bother about trying to figure out when Torchwood will air again. Scheduling information is classified by the BBC. "SURPRISE! It was on last night! Har!"

And speaking of which, was 8x08 of Spooks (aired just before Christmas) the last episode of the series? I have no idea. Again, one of those secret BBC things we're not meant to know about.

Oh! And since I'm on BBC programs, remind me to never go wandering around looking at comments on articles about Top Gear. Apparently there are many in the UK who think that Top Gear has become a TRAVESTY since it's all about the stunts and not a Serious Car Show. Um, the only thing that started me watching was because it wasn't a Serious Car Show. It's not that they don't know what they're talking about when it comes to cars, but I like them because they're sort of the UK version of Mythbusters. Except more sarcastic. And it's about cars.

XD Why is knowing the air date weeks in advance so important? A week might be handy, but it's not like you need any more notice than that.

*Pets Top Gear* I've not been keeping up with it really, but it's just a lot of fun. I would totally love that job! XD I mean, I get some of the complaints because as funny as Clarkson is... his politics make me twitch, but complaining that it's not serious enough? It was serious a while ago and guess what? NOBODY WATCHED IT.

Because you can look forward to it! And not be constantly wondering about it!

I've no idea what his politics are. (If they mention them on the show, the references fly over my head.)

Well you can still look forward to it with a bit of mystery around exactly when you'll be seeing it! XD

And his politics are basically those of 90% of middle aged white men in this country. He mostly jokes about them, but then, so does my dad, and you know how amusing I find white men joking about how oppressed they are by having to pay taxes or something!

Haha, I have to agree with you, I don't understand the not announcing of air dates in advance, but maybe that's just because I'm used to being able to find those out easily. Maybe the BBC just keeps it a secret so they can shuffle things around in case something comes up?

I guess. But I like knowing when things will be on. "Lost won't start until February? Okay then. *carries on with life*"
