I've only watched Border Security a couple of times but both times they had Asian people smuggling food. :) That and some drunk bloke who has to be taken off the flight. Yes, TV is fundamentally bollocks. That's what I like about the podcasts - I can watch the semi-decent stuff that I want, when I want! Fantastic!

When I lived in England the most interesting thing on TV was the lager commercials. Mind you, that was 20 years ago and we didn't have cable. I think TV is fundamentally crap in most countries. (Although Italian TV does have an interesting proportion of gratuitous nudity). “Border Security” should be renamed “Asians smuggling food” because that is what seems to occupy most of the show.

Actually having just got back from a trip in the UK I reckon TV over there has got worse since we left in 2002. Lots more dumb reality TV shows. Top Gear has improved though :) *lol* Fair point!

And yes, EVERYONE in the UK thought we were strange, and we were continually getting letters threatening to take us to court for not paying our TV licence. Works both ways.
