    yes..

    Sucking of teeth "Oh I dunno mate.. more than my jobs worth.. we need the high ladder team"

    2 weeks later High ladder team arrives

    sucking of teeth "Oh I dunno mate.. dunno what the other guys told you but our ladders are no bigger than theirs!"

    What about a cherry picker then?

    "Ohh no.. we don't do that !"

    I think I told them quite politely to take their satellite dish and utilise it as a suppository

    (Seriously, that was the best series to grace my TV in a long time).
    Hey, what did I do?
    I always dance with you

    Yeah I know you were only trying to make a cheap shot, but got to get some mileage out of pretended indignation, right?

    I find it irritating when presenters on tv use "hat", instead of HAD. Have a listen next time....

    So then you'll have caught up with the rest of us for the 14th episode on Wednesday 3 October at 10m on BBC3.

    Hope that's cheered you up
    Im confused as well. BBC 2 England showed (Last night)the same two as the night before ?

    If you reading this in the future 'last night' wont mean much

    I must be living in a box as I'd never heard about this until the ranting on this thread. And then I was relaxing after our Thursday class and there is was on BBC2. I only saw the last 10 minutes. What's it all about?

    Why not use an online TV schedule?

    I use RadioTimes.com - you can tell it which channels you can see (including which region you're in) and then search for a programme.

    He who assumes Makes an ASS out of U and ME

    I did... I don't buy papers, I don't buy magazines. I looked at the TV listings online.. and it said Heroes was on. What's really annoying it was the BBC TV listings I looked at. Didn't occur to me that what was being Advertised would be different from what was on.

    Anyway , Just watched the re-runs. two very good episodes.
