My daughter is a Strictly fan Matt. Luckily on BBC2 at the moment there is an excellent program on Station X that is helping restore my balance....

Is there a BBC TV Guide that directly links to the iPlayer but isn't www.bbc.co.uk/tv/guide?  That's the slowest site I've ever seen.

Not sure how close your local is Fozz, but I'd be happy to get away with a couple of glasses of "Chateau Thames Embankment" a la Rumpole.

No one could possibly match the volume and quality Smiley of American reality TV.

We have about 18 dancing shows, we have about 25 singing shows, and we have HONEY BOO BOO!

But the BBC is odd.  If an American network came up with Luther or Sherlock it would be on at the same time every week for years.  The BBC makes 3 or 4 episodes and loses interest.  If you don't see it when it's on you might miss it entirely.  I just recently discovered Garrow's Law and had to download 12 episodes just to get caught up.  I've missed The Tudors altogether because it's just too much trouble to try to catch up.

If my wife started to follow Honey Boo Boo, then without question it I would go to my gun cabinet, collect my 12 bore and let lose at the TV with both barrels...............
