No, not enough of Liverpool and Manchester... Maybe next time huh?

Oh, I think you saw more than enough of Birmingham to last a lifetime...

[wondergirl9847]

You've seen Coupling, right? GREATNESS!!! I have season 1 on DVD, and need to get the other two, sometime. It's one of my fave TV shows, soooo much better/funnier than Friends. :nod:

NBC should never have bastid-ized Coupling! :mad:

[madformac]

I love this show, and Keeping Up Appearances. I just love British comedy.... :D

Maria

You get Keeping Up Appearances too?

haha, never thought that one would make it over..

I remember checking into a hotel on South Beach once and switching on the TV and the first thing I see is Red Dwarf!!! I thought "ugh? What the hell is this doing on here?" So I switched channels and saw the "Miami" video by Will Smith which was filmed right outside the window! Very odd stuff.. Or should I say "Isn't that weird?" :laugh:

[wondergirl9847]

We get KUA over here. BBC America shows it as well as PBS channels.

"Oh yes..."
"And you might recognize the Batters..."
"HOLY ****! It's the Animals cover. OMG that's SO cool. Stop! STOP!!! I wanna take a picture..."
I'l never forget him shaking his head at me saying, "I show you the wonders of London and you go crazy over an old power station." :laugh:
