FAR from the truth. The Maryland and DC PBS stations have been showing the
same old britcoms non-stop for 25 years. Meanwhile, I go to Amazon.co.uk to
buy such things as The Mighty Boosh and Goodness Gracious Me. Not to mention
gems from the past like The Goodies and Doctor In The House (oops--that's
ITV).
