The Lord alerted my mind to the presence of this EVIL article by Simon
Dean, and I thusly replied:

Indeed. Season 4 is shown in widescreen too, which means, apart from the
DOG, it's almost as good a source as BBC2. But since BBC2 must soon show
season 4, I'll wait until then before I start recording again...

Poker I and Poker II... the two episodes that Sky One didn't show for some
daft reason. I thought that was more than just a co-incidence to cut out
two gambling episodes.
And then they show one of them on the same night as their "Las Vegas"
programme at 9pm tonight. It disappoints me when my cynicism proves
correct!

They always hike up the transmission rate during the holidays. Showing
them out of order is evil.
And why won't anyone ever repeat season 1?

"Lois's Makeover" ? I have that on VHS when it was shown a couple of
months back. I'm sure it'll be shown again with 6 months though.

I think it's best that I wait for it to appear on TV. I'll have to stop
myself from working that out. I'm sure we can discuss it when it's on next
week :-)

Ah, that's an interesting point. That could mean considerable delays
indeed.

Except me it seems. I just have a MiTM VHS library :-)
