Brit TV corner

My local PBS station has been airing Vicar of Dibley, and I'm so loving it. I have a vague memory of Sean Bean having a cameo, but he hasn't popped up yet. I was totally sold on the show when one of the characters said--in what could be my favorite insult ever--"she's one teat short of an udder." It's also introduced me to what may be the prettiest word for "slaughterhouse".

The series finale is airing next week (PBS has been showing the episodes out of order) and I'm really looking forward to it, least of which for the random Dr. Who references: the matron of honor dressing up as the Tenth Doctor and the Dalek bridesmaids (Alice as 10 at 2:31, Daleks at 7:52).

The entire series is now out on Region 1 DVD. I'll probably Netflix it since I'd like to see the series the way it aired, plus it will have the all Comic Relief specials.

PBS has also been airing Coupling, and I've been watching that--which is silly since I own the DVDs so I can watch all the Jeff I want and completely ignore Oliver. The last episode aired back in 2004 and it ended on a bit of cliffhanger so I've been a bit peeved that Steven Moffat and all the actors have been too busy to make series five.

Thankfully, Moffat has posted epilogues for all the characters (on wiki via a Dr. Who message board which is why it took me so long to find it):
