Yeah, I don't mind being called a Yank either even though I'm a Californian/Oregonian.

Maggie, I think they are talking about a show they get over there.

There was a cute comic strip here where one character dressed up as "Dr.Who" for Halloween and no one could figure out who he was, they all thought he was Sherlock Holmes with an afro. (You probably have to read it to think it's cute!)

I'll have to check to see if we get BBC-Canada. I think we do.

We don't get BBC anything. However, we do get BBC news and some really old shows on PBS.

I'm trying to decide if I want to add BBC Canada to my lineup. It seems like a waste to me, but I'll have to check the current programming and see if it's worth it.

I don't know how much money you're talking about, but I would think it should be worth it just for Spooks. And Hustle if you can get that there.

Here's a list of shows, let me know if it's worth it.
Jam & Jerusalem (I watched the first series, I didn't really like it)
Fairy Tales
The Graham Norton Show
Ab Fab (but I already own it all on dvd)
Fantasy Homes by the Sea
Mary Queen of Shops (sounds interesting)
What Not to Wear
Top Gear
George Gently
Holby Blue
Judge John Deed
Spooks
Little Britain (again on dvd)
plus Eastenders and Casualty and a bunch of other shows we get on Canadian channels.
(Hustle comes on CBC)

I'd say it was worth it for Spooks and Top Gear alone (but then I don't know how much it costs!)
Graham Norton can be fun, depending on the guests; I'm not much of a fan of the others.

Yeah, it's not a lot of money, maybe I can convince Dh to get it!

Let us know how long it takes to download - it said "Slow" when I looked at the site!
Btw, you don't necessarily have to have watched all the Series. My son only started watching it in Series 4, for example.
You can always start at a later series and then watch earlire series later, and "catch up".
