Don't miss...

Outnumbered on television tomorrow evening. I raved about the first series here and the second looks very promising. The child performances are astonishing, probably because their parts are not totally scripted but left to their imaginations. Children can be really scary.

Shall I try and catch Philip Glenister this evening? Good grief, I had no idea the man had his own Live Journal community and about a million fan sites! Trouble is, I'm such a curmudgeon about Children in Need. I know; hate me.

The News Quiz was much less funny this evening without him. In fact, I've gone right off it.

Oh, I'd forgotten what this was called! It was very funny.

I wish I could afford to bid on some of the Children in Need auctions!

The Things That Money Can't Buy? What's your fancy, Wimbledon with Aled Jones?:-)

I've completely missed the first series of Outnumbered, is it too late to start watching now?

You can get the DVD from Amazon.

I never buy TV series unseen, but fortunately no prior knowledge was needed to enjoy last night's episode. :-)

So glad you enjoyed it too!

US and UK Outnumbered

I went to Netflix and all they have is an American "sitcom" based on the British version. :<(

I just had a look; I'd no idea there was an American version. More money for the clever originators here, I hope. I've posted a link to Amazon for the DVD, perhaps that is available? The pound is low:-)

There's a lot of publicity about this second series but the first one was so badly scheduled and low key that I'm surprised it managed to be such a hit.
