I don't know about that! I think I could give him a good run for his money.

You can't even call Stephen Fry a "straight" actor, after his elopement from that play he was doing in the early 90's - very unprofessional! He just happened to be in with the Cambridge crowd of Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh et al. (Who's al? - Editor) He's a very good novelist. (There - I said something nice about the man.)

You can still call him a "straight" actor, just one that did something silly
What about Wilde? What about Absolute Power? etc., etc.

Non of the Emmy Award winning shows mentioned have been shown in Australia yet.
Seems we are always at least 12 months behind in getting to see the Brit shows.

In these days of super modern technology I have no reason why it still takes so long.
Must still be using the convict boats for transport.

Very true David. You maybe 12 months, we must be 12 years behind.

Here in the Philippines we get the Australia Channel and we have just had Rocket Man and Miss Marple with Geraldine McEwan but the rest is very dire.

There is no sign of the beeb ever coming here and I know the ITV sell bundles of stuff to Oz, but we never get to see any quality tv from home.

I even have Dream Sat, terrible name, only real decent thing on is Discovery Channels, Nat Geographic, Animal Planet & Travel and Living. Best prog to watch out for on Discovery Channel is Mythbusters, it's a must for me.

How I miss decent tv.

If I could have my choice of tv stations I would certainly be one happy chappy.
