Things I've seen recently
- Elizabethtown
- Cute but predictable, with some funny moments. Not as bad as people make out, but not as good as the few fans might argue.
- Hustle (series 3)
- Started off well, but after a couple of episodes almost felt like it was running out of ideas. This was solved by the next week though, and the finale was suitably impossible and slick.
- Persuasion (1995 film)
- Possibly I should have read the book first, but the film is well acted and well put together and (apparently) faithful to the original. I really enjoyed this film, but don’t have much to say on it. It was just really well done and well worth seeing.
- Doctor Who (new series)
- The first episode wasn’t quite as spectacular as some would have it, but was nonetheless a good start. I will miss most of the new series by being in Japan, but will have far more interesting things on my mind to care. A new series of Spooks on the other hand would be a sore trial – thank goodness that’s not until autumn. (What if others don’t want to watch it at uni though?)

You know, a lot of youngsters these days “download” television series from the “internet” via “bittorrent” or other “networks”, so that they can watch said series in the “privacy” of their own rooms, or even “burn” them to “DVD” to watch on the larger “TV” in their “common room” with their “flatmates”.
Those crazy kids and their modern fashions and buzzwords, eh?

Forgive me if I’ve got the terminology wrong, but isn’t that “piracy”?

If the show is shown on terrestrial TV (i.e. anything you can pick up on a digibox), and you own a TV license, it’s perfectly legal.
Piracy involves cutlasses.

Yaar.
It’s a sad fact about BBC serieses (seriesi?), they always go downhill on Season 3. Don’t worry, they generally pick up on Season 4.

The plural of series is series.

Quiet, maths boy, let us have our fun.
Rory: I don’t own a TV license, so we have a problem.

Matthew: I do… well, my flatmate does… Well, I mean, my flatmate next year does, so you can just download them on his behalf.
You still have a problem, but that’s another matter entirely.

What has maths got to do with anything? When was I spoiling your fun?

There are some things in life too deep for sheep, Sheepie.
