I'm sure end credits will soon end up a thing of the past. I think it's
very disrespectful for the TV companies to squash up the credits, or on
some occasions cut them altogether. I don't think I've ever heard anything
worthwhile on end credits voice over anyway, and I doubt that's going to
change any time soon. Utter rubbish.

I think it's a real shame. All the hard work that's gone into a programme
and people can't pay the makers a bit of respect by watching the final few
seconds.

This sounds very good indeed. I'm looking forward to it. It's always nice
to see Dewey getting a bit of revenge or taking on a bigger role. I
absolutely loved that episode where he packed his toys into a sack in
preparation for whacking the restrained Reese. A touch of genius.

Sounds like it's worth watching at least.
