Talking of being separated by a common language, and going back to the perennial topic of US remakes of Uk shows:
I just caught a little of the US Life On Mars: specifically the ending....wtf? They had them actually go to mars??? And then having given it this ridiculously literal ending, they played out with an Elton John track...rather than Bowie's LIFE ON MARS!
Having depressed myself thoroughly seeing this I fell upon a clip of the pilot for the USA Red Dwarf...I didnt know there'd been such a beast. It is truly awful. And pointless.
Will you guys (not here on the cellar, i mean more generally) please learn to cope with non-American versions of the English language and then demand that your tv networks stop destroying great shows? In return I promise we won't remake Frasier, Friends and M*A*S*H....and whilst were at it, if you endeavour not to rewrite all out books, I solemnly swear we'll read Catcher in the Rye in it's original American.
*grins*
sorry. That was unfair. I know the whys and the wherefores and the d'ye mind if I don'ts. I do understand. But it is terribly frustrating at times.
