Re: Doctor Who - I just bought the first season of the Sarah Jane Adventures. Because good children's TV is a beautiful thing.
I've only seen the pre-revival Doctor Who episodes as occasional reruns on cable channels (although I did catch a fair few that way). The BBC is releasing lots of DVDs now, so I will probably succumb eventually.
This is why they only serve dead chickens at KFC. Sporking a live chicken is a not a pretty sight.
I went to a fantastic art exhibition at the weekend (by Banksy - a shadowy figure who has managed to reach cult status here without anyone knowing who he is) where the artist had created animatronic chicken nuggets that were pecking at a packet of barbeque sauce. One of the most disturbing things I've ever seen, and also totally fascinating.
I am off out to find breakfast, as I haven't been back to my university accommodation for three weeks, and there is no food here. Chicken will not be involved.
I grew up on Classic Who. Sunday nights from 11:00 pm to around 12:35 in the morning--Mom didn't let me stay up that late until I graduated from junior high (14 y.o.). The local PBS station had its Brit Block starting at 10:00 pm (Monty Python or Fawlty Towers, sometimes The Goodies), followed by (usually) Dave Allen At Large at 10:30 (sometimes The Two Ronnies), then the full story of Doctor Who, instead of the serialized half-hour ep as was originally shown on the BBC.

Best evening TV schedule ever!
Can't sleep. Rain will eat me, or something.

Growing up, I got pretty much that line-up starting from 6:00. Goodies followed by Dr Who, then Fawlty Towers or Yes Minister or something like that; Two Ronnies was just Wednesdays, IIRC. Dave Allen was later at night, but still fun.
and a quick Congrats to Nilly... er rather DOCTOR Nilly!!!
Indeed. Yay Dr. Nilly!
Hmmm. "Dr. Nillytown"?
Too bad it's not Nillyville. It has more flow as an earworm.
Linking away again with Doctor Nillyville
Looking for a good link to those shows.
Some people claim that they can search for the same,
But who cares? Nilly already knows.
On the other hand there's
Doctor Nilly
Hey! Doctor Nilly!
Doctor Nilly
Hey! Doctor Nilly!
Doctor Nilly
Hey! Doctor Nilly!
Doctor Nilly. Doc-Doctor Nilly!
Doctor Nilly. Doc-Doctor Nilly!
Oh Man am I up too early. Time to hit the shower and back to bed.
Just how wrong is it to "reply all" with a Snopes addy when you get some stupid, pseudo-patriotic, forwarded email?
Depends on how much (or *if*) you care about ticking off the sender.
I tend to "reply all" with a Snopes link when someone sends a ridiculous, unfounded health-related e-mail (like, don't drink cold beverages with a meal, because the cold beverage will hit the food in your stomach and solidify the fat in the meal and prevent digestion -- that was a real e-mail my mom sent me, and I Snopes-ed her on it).
I've done it, Windsparrow.

Oh lord, someone sent me that one just yesterday. Gives my Coke Zero-loving self the screaming irrits, it does.
