i miss the good old uk television, where there are beginnings, endings and middles to programmes.

i miss all the soaps and reality tv programmes.

could some of you please take the time to fill us in on whats going on in the world of tv over there.

at the moment my viewing consists of american idol. which has just got to the last 11, i think that you get it on itv2 a few days after we get it. and we watch silent witness on bbc america.

american idol has got 3 fabulous female singers, you have to try and catch it.

Specializes in theatre, elderly, community, ICU.

I bought a region free dvd player and have my dad record dvds for me of my favourite programs, like Trial and Retribution, which I love, Judge John Deed. Waking the Dead etc. But I do like CSI and Law and Order, and another good one Medium. I used to watch all that back home. And if anyone's watched My Name is Earl that's quite funny. Don't miss the soaps so much but I do miss the good dramas.

They are also running the recent Robin Hood Series -which at least is a good, well made series!!

I'm an American, and I am addicted to BBC-America.

I love Keeping Up Appearances, Footballer's Wives, and there's a comedy that takes place in a hardware store that is very funny, but I can't recall the name.

We used to get a show called "Waiting for God" that was very clever and funny, also, but I haven't seen that in several years.

My favorite, though, is AbFab. I have all the DVD's, have seen them numerous times, and i STILL watch it when it's on BBC.
