Thanks Caroline. Although now I want to watch it to see how funny it was

I watched Jeckyll on Hg’s recommendation and thought it was hilarious and not in a good way.

Agh, no don’t tell me Jeckyll was good. I decided to avoid watching it as I watch too much TV at present (and no that doesn’t include Big Brother either) so I’d rather not know how good it is otherwise I’ll end up watching that as well.

Rr – I guess it’s a rather neat & tidy duality that doesn’t quite match up to the complexity of real life. I don’t think it’s trying to say that a life lived in the present is without meaning; more that “meaning” requires context, which implies an attention to be paid to past & future that subverts the notion of living for the moment.
Paul – been watching it since the first episode and absolutely love it. For a while, it & Dr Who have been the only TV I’ve been watching. That new series Jeckyll on Saturday was superb too though, so I’m in the rare position of having three TV progs on the go. Still managing to avoid the lure of Big Brother, thank God.

Ah, do you watch Heroes too?
You won’t be suprised to learn that I only watched it because Christopher Eccleston is in it.
