Not feeling quite so bad, though I had to have a nap this afternoon when I started feeling shivery and rough again, but being able to actually get out of bed is miles beyond where I was on Wednesday. At least I've been catching up on some TV, so I suppose I ought to talk about that, rather than whining on about my health. Or the weather. We had a hailstorm the other day, folks - English summer in action!
Finished season 1 of I Spy, which I've enjoyed but am not particularly gripped by, when compared to UNCLE - maybe it's because I spend half my time wanting to smack Kelly Robinson around the back of the head with a tennis racket. Repeatedly. I've also been rewatching Slings and Arrows (the first two seasons so far) and there is still much love.
The UK government is back on it's 'downloading is ev0l!!!111!!!' kick now Mandelson has been having junkets with record label owners, but where is my legal TV alternative? I'm not convinced by the record industry's download=lost sale argument, but at least there's a way of getting stuff if you want to - I end up buying the dvd sets, after all (even though the US media folks would probably prefer it if I didn't buy R1) when I see shows like The Middleman or Castle or Leverage, none of which have yet to grace UK screens.
Put the shows on over here around the same time and they'll get watched, otherwise what do you think people are going to do? But then I guess the tv channels don't help with overseas sales when they repeatedly can shows 6 episodes (or less) into their first season run! Talk about counter-productive...
E.T.A. - Also, dear TV channel, do not promise me Daniel Craig in a two-part adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Sword of Honour and then give me documentaries on radar and the Enigma machine. Really not equivalent to what I've missed out on. Seriously.
