h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hey now, I had nothing to do with that. Some young entrepeneur must have been here and saw everyone enjoying it. I know that I have, one way or another, for 40-some years now.

Okay we have to send you one disc of top gear its not what you thnk trust me she says chuckling it is really really funny so i shall get my dad to obtain a copy for me to post to you Reef girl you show excellent taste in DVD's

top 10 best shows
1. Mash
2. Star Treck
3. West Wing
4. Gilmore Girls
5. Top Gear
6. Yes Minister
7. To the Manor Born
8. House
9. The cook and the Chef
10. Any old movie staring Cary grant, Jimmy Sterwart, Ava Gardner, Clark Gable, Lorreta Young, Stewart Granger Okay you get the idea

And yes I know this dates me

I'm a bit of a sci fi fan so bear with me but my top 10 is

1: Dr Who
2: Top Gear
3: NCIS
4: 4400
5: Babylon 5
6: Dinnerladies
7: M*A*S*H (But only the ones with Frank Burns)
8: Waiting for God
9: Jasper Carrot
!0: Miss Marple (With Joan Hickson)

It's too early in my day to formulate a list ... But I will admit to not recognizing a sad number of those titles the pair of you have listed.

Waiting for God I had forgotten about that series excellent the occasional NCIS but not the Miami or New York one but the one out in the dessert

Okay Nic what do you watch on Canadian TV or are you to busy hootooing

I want to be like Diana in Waiting for God when I get old

I only have a few minutes, before the hordes in costume will descend. But thinking a bit at work, I came up with:

M*A*S*H
Columbo
Law & Order
NCIS
CSI-Vegas
Star Trek - Next Generation
Nostalgia - Bonanza, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Gilligan's
Island
Any Peanuts show

Of course, that isn't the totality of it, but my mind just went blank....

Ok if we are comparing lists

1: Poriot
2: Top Gear
3: Time Team
4: Miss Marple (With Joan Hickson)
5: Star Treck
6: Red Dwarf Black Adder
7: M*A*S*H
8: Billy Connelley
9: Mid Summer Murders
10: QI
This is making interesting reading.

Some commonalities, and yet a lot of distinctiveness, eh?

M*A*S*H and Top Gear seem to be the most common

*note-to-self: Google for 'Top Gear' ... *

the expedition to America's deep South from the last series is a scream

It probably is on one of our channels. We have a couple, not commonly watched because they are more documentary or dull stuff in general, that also have the license for BBC products. I do flip through them occassionally, if all else is quiet. I'll have to look over our listings, and perhaps set up a recorder for an episode or two.

You will not regret it

BTW, Bob, do you wanna call me by e-mail? The link is still on my PS, looks like an envelope. I have a couple of addresses for ye, but never sure which is the most 'live'.

Found and replied.

So, aside from huge fires and displays of pyrotechnics, what's happening on that side of the Puddle these days?

Nowt

Then perhaps it's time to do something to shake up the neighborhood. How's about dressing up like a 'Brittany' or a 'Paris', and making an unholy show of yourself? You could always use the excuse that you got so into the character, that you didn't remember that Hallowe'en had come and gone.
