You know how some fans collect action figuresd and toys and dolls and cool dragon stuff and odd clothing and whatnot, and they have special cabinets and shelves to display them?
That's us, except without the display part. Mostly they just heap.

What a great article - thanks CA. I was looking at the list of other shows there and a great many of which I watched. Some of the others didn't get picked up in the UK though. You think you have a problem with them ping ponging the timeslots all over the place - the ping pong some things to different channels over here. No warnig either. 24 started out on BBC2 then moved to Sky One, Alias started on Sky One and moved to Bravo - no advertisng needless to say. I discovered the last season by accident. Farscape too, it went from BBC2 to Scify who promptly cancelled it. Figures. So I suppose I too will have to buy this new show on DVD when it arrives.

Thanks Cabridges,
You captured our feelings exactly, and in an incredibly funny and clever way. Thank-you!

Just to pick up on mrskborg's points about UK showings of TV shows: 24 was shown by BBC 3/2 but Fox announced that they were terminating the BBC's option to show it as they were now broadcasting "in the clear" on Sky. What actually happened was Sky One's ratings have been plummeting post Buffy/Angel and so they needed a hit show and pulled strings with their sister company. Alias was never a hit on Sky so they sold the rights on to Five and it wasn't a hit there so they sold the rights on to Bravo. The BBC still retain repeat rights for Farscape (though not the Peacekeeper Wars, Sky One outbid them) and are starting a complete set of repeats on BBC 3, starting from this Monday, just after midnight. If you haven't seen the show, now's your chance.
CABridges, I don't know if your site tracks hits but you got a reference from BBC Cult http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/news/cult/2005/02/04/16858.shtml which will probably have sent tens of thousands of hits on to your paper's site.
See, the BBC know what they're doing.
