I know that we all have 400 channels now but there is still nothing on TV. You have a few months out of the year that you scramble to see a couple of new shows until the reruns take over. Searching madly for some background noise that I can't lip sync, I tried BBC. I've greatly enjoyed a number of the British dramas once I was able to overlook the aggravating accent.
Most Americans have heard of Doctor Who but few have probably watched it. It's an amusing show, along with the spinoff, Torchwood. Jekyll was another that I was temporarily addicted to but my current favorite is Wire in the Blood. A strange title, I agree, but it is currently in its fourth season and the story lines are based on books by Val McDermid about a peculiar shrink who assists police much like a profiler. Val McDermid is still writing and has other series in addition to the Dr. Tony Hill series that created Wire in the Blood. I'm going to need to read a few and hope I don't feel compelled to read them all. I have a tendency to over-do sometimes...
Having recently just returned from England, I can attest to one thing. When you are over there, there's not a damn thing to watch on their TV either.
