It's arrived, and it's still FUN!

But I don't really know what's all this craze about "previews"...

It's just the bloody language of advertisement permeating everything, first there's the "preview", one week later the "regular showing"... well, to me that's just a first showing and a repeat, in the language of common sense...

But of course, the "previews" are supposed to be "elusive", dedicated to a quicker and smarter crowd than the bores who get by with "regular showings"... or that's what they'd like you to believe, which is a load of the old bovine brown stuff, really... all you need is an internet connection or a satellite dish, what's so smart about that? It only takes having a bit of money to waste (and as far as satellite is concerned, it IS quite a bit of a waste, if it wasn't for international football and the odd "rare" movie, I'd give it up...)

I first became aware of that last year, while discussing the latest episode of "Shameless" with a friend in London.

After some initial confusion, we realised she was one week behind me in her viewing, which she did on "regular" C4, while my "alternative" sources bore the E4 (first look) logo.

That's only on DT, I understand, and I guess ITV have something similar, dunno about the Beeb.

The current episode of "The IT Crowd", which will go "public" later this week, was instead made available on their web site, or so I understand (no logos at all on the video)

"I am not a window cleaner!"

I thought he said "MACs? No, I work with Windows... hallo?"

Todays episode must have been one of their funniest yet.

On discovering a bomb disposal robot works on Vista "We are going to DIE!!!"

When I was 11 I broke the patio window and my mother sued me...

And YES, Noel Fielding did guest again, I hope we'll see more of him, that Goth2Boss seems a nice idea...

I missed him, too, but I guess catching scurvy would be a life-changing experience for most, possibly even more for Goths...
