I'm happy to hear the joint pains are gone. Sounds like full recovery is almost here, thank God.

I was so excited reading the variety of programming you have where you live. Thank you for the links! When my husband lived in the U.K. back in the eighties, he said the programming seemed a bit limited, but in some ways was far more sophisticated than USA TV.

He LOVES the show "Top Gear" and on weekends he watches several episodes at a time. After work, he picks up BBC news on his car satellite radio, which he says has so much more extensive coverage of world affairs than what we get over here. (American news loves to talk about itself a lot. lol)

I checked out our BBC TV station tonight and at 8pm a show called "Ramsey Revisited" is airing an episode about "The Glass House Restaurant." Is this a restaurant review show? If so, I'd LOVE to see what different foods are served in restaurants over there. (I love travel shows to "see inside" shops, houses, restaurants, etc.)

At 9pm over here, "Mary Queen of Shops" will air on BBC America. I suspect that is about retail stores. hahaha

Then of course at 10pm will come the BBC World News America, which our US news people could take a lesson from in terms of accuracy and quality in my opinion.
