Bunch of old farts 

Too many US terms & telly series over here already.

It bugs me too when they give the date in US format ..... we put the number first then the month 

Ah yes, that I draw the line on. But if you notice many US programs are always longer than UK.

Look at the Bodyguard on BBC, cracking bit of TV but only 6 episodes.

All the stuff from across the pond is nearly always 20/25 ep's and on a yearly cycle.

But then again my view is warped, as I refer to live tv as linear.

A British series of 6 episodes tends to be well paced with little padding.


An American series of over 20 episodes contains about the same amount of watchable material if you can force yourself to watch all of them. After a couple of series the story arcs get so preposterous that they become utterly unwatchable.

Don't forget, Tunnie, some folks here still pine for the days when the only source of moving news pictures were the Pathé News reels shown before one of their new-fangled talkies down at the picture house

Nothing to do with that. This is an English speaking forum .... not American 

[2boxerdogs]

The rubbish on TV at present I find the only things worth watching & I enjoy are the motoring programmes including Top Gear.

[annihilator]

Pity they have both made use of the services of "Mr Loophole" whilst us mere mortal car enthusiasts just have suck it up.

yet this very forums shop uses the American date format-or it did some while ago when I ordered window stickers

That could well be related to the fact its running American software, running on American servers situated in an American Datacenter (SIC), set with an American timezone and American locales.

So are the products in the shop only suitable for Cadillac Catera's then?
