So, after the watersead on a weeknight? Frak... weren't you paying attention. Science fiction is for kids, while grown-ups prefer doctors, police procedurals and increasingly surreal 'reality' shows.

We've been downloading and watching 'Torchwood', the adult Doctor Who spin-off. It's sort of uneven and all over the place, but eminently…

There are Outrageous Fortune ep titles?

And what about all those kids who don't recognise the episode titles of Desperate Housewives as Sondheim song titles? Harumph...

Something that's always bothered me about Outrageous Fortune though.

Shakespeare aside, it always reminds me of the 1987 Bette Midler/Shelley Long "comedy" of the same name.

But having said that, I've never actually got around to watching an episode of Outrageous Fortune, so I haven't had the chance to develop…

There was a movie called Outrageous Fortune in the 80s. It had Bette Midler and Shelley Long in it, and it was very silly. However, it did relate a bit better…

Well, it's coming up 20 years since my last high-school english lesson. :-( Of course, being of danish heritage, I guess I should be able to recite Hamlet backwards.

At any rate, I still think the title…

OMG, you obviously also didn't see the sex scene between Ant Starr and Mrs Havoc, which was not so much graphic as so intimate I was nearly embarrassed.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I thought it was sweet.

I have to say that Shane Cortese on his knees in front of Loretta was pretty much as hot as NZ television has ever got.
