Hi Lyn:  We get BBC America on cable, but I don't watch it too much.  I've seen the dragons, but I can't get used to the new Dr Who's.  Tom Baker was the best of the Doctors.  We have 4 British shows on Saturday night here - Keeping Up Appearances, As Time Goes By, Last of the Summer Wine, and Waiting For God.  Last time I watched Waiting for God, Diana Trent called someone a pillock and I knew what she meant from being around here, LOL!  Last of the Summer Wine is my favorite though, and I've only seen the ones from the 70's and early 80's.  Whenever you lot mention wellies I always think of Compo.  On Sunday, our PBS has Masterpiece Theater.  This past year they had a whole series of Jane Austen stories, as well as Dickens' Bleak House.  I love the period pieces.

I know the story of Wuthering Heights, but I've never read the book.  It's one of those that I continue to dust.  lol.  Kate Bush looks a little bizarre in that video, don't you think Wolf?  But I love the original Pat Benetar version of that song.

Kate was allways very bizarre Ruth, and I didn't know that Pat Benetar had recorded it. I will look for it and see the difference thanks.Surprised

You're most welcome, Wolf.

Getting back to Last of the Summer Wine, couldn't you just picture Compo and Cleggy and Cyril Blamire or Foggy Dewhurst tromping down this hill:

I agree Ruth, Pat Benetar did the song much better.
