well we had even more snow-about a foot deep with more forecast. of course the UK has come to a standstill. Stupid buggers.

As for TV, I was an army child so forthe first 5 years of my life I had no tv as we lived in Germany. Then briefly in UK and I remeber Watch With Mother(Bizzie Lizze with her majic daisy was my fave). Then back to Germany and no tv. Then to Singapore where we did have tv and American programs-like Betwitched and The Flying NUN. Bewitched di showing now and I still love it. Sam was my role model and i still love her..

O h and bak in the UK there was the Wooden tops and Andy Pany.

Anyway, after singapore it was Australia-more Americna tv and only in Black and White-no colour tv till 75 or 76. One thing tho, they had little censorship. they showed a soap called The Box which had gay chareacters and showed them in bed etc. Nudity was allowed too.

Then back to UK and Charlies Angels, Poilce Woman and then Cagney and Lacey(love that), Hill Street Blues, Die-Nasty and Dalls. Dallas so huge that when JR got shot it was BBC 9 o'clock News!!!!! People went around wearing 'I shot JR' sweatshirts. I saw amn who had 'i screwed JR' on his.

we make good soaps. Eastenders is amazingly good. Real people and real drama. Excellent acting mostly. Veyr depressing tho.
