Conor, high praise for you over here.

It isn't. At least not the DVDs in the States. Who knows about the NZ edition, though (or any extended edition they're offering – I'm going by what I'm getting from Netflix.)

That's a bugger – the DVDs of Sherlock have the unaired pilot version of 'A Study in Pink'…

I'm also hoping the backdoor pilot is going to be included on the DVD — Tovey is the only member of the central trio who made it from pilot to series, and the tone is considerably more gothic.

Interesting – what series did it spin-off from?

OK, let's try that again in coherent English. (And if someone could delete my last, my sense of shame will be your eternal bitch.)

Being Human wasn't spun off from any show. Danny Cohen, who was then controller of BBC3, commissioned four…

At the start, it was TV4, and mainly used as a clearing house for hip British comedies (e.g. Shooting Stars, I'm Allan Partridge,…

It didn't. Being Human is an example of the had a "backdoor" pilot.

Interesting that it's not used that way so much. I knew about Seven of One. Indeed, I've bought the DVD, but I didn't really think of any of them (even Open All Hours) as a backdoor pilot.…

where will the music go now?

Isn't it already on C42?

The music and music shows on C42 is quite different from that on C4.

Did I choose correctly?

Probably not if you're me. But you're probably you.

where will the music go now?

Isn't it already on C42? (Which, if US programming patterns for music video channels are anything to go by, will soon be taken over by witless nattering veejays and lose all its charm.)

Not sure what you mean by 'cluster fuck' other than ladies with their bums and tits out and the guys drooling.

Um, I've had raw tofu with more flavour. The problem with the 'Funk' episode of Glee last season is that the show's Autotuned into oblivion cast (and the bland…

This is an act of war, and we can't let the terrorists win...

... That's right Richard Curtis is a real New Zealander now (I think...), just like us!

Makes me want to bite someone...

Craig – an afterthought. Where abouts on the Shore are you?

The reason we couldn't watch the full episodes of the Daily Show and Colbert from the official sites was supposed to be because of C4 and (later) Comedy Central's licenses.

You can watch the full episodes, you just need to watch it in 3 – 4 clips from their web…

I'm also hoping the backdoor pilot is going to be included on the DVD

they need to lift the geo-location ban on New Zealand.

Yes. Bastards.

What I didn't enjoy so much was Prime "teasing" the series weeks back with a behind the scenes doco that methodically, comprehensively spoiled EVERY major character beat and plot turn to come.

Yes. Bastards.

Also: I may be way behind the curve on this, but thoroughly enjoyed Being Human on Prime the other night.

Indeed – elegantly simple premise, engaging cast and consistently good writing. I'm also hoping the backdoor pilot is going to be included on the DVD — Tovey is the only…

TV3 going up against TV1

Modelled on New TV1 or TV1 Classic? The former, it seems.

Personally, I think they'd do best with more Brit. programming. Shouldn't neccessarily be any more expensive.

C4 changing again and going up against ? = understandable but another rather large punt (with added WTF?)

the new season of Glee is on its way. Squee!

Meh, the Rocky Horrible episode looks like another 'Funk' style cluster fuck not even the beyond fabulous Jane Lynch can redeem.
