My son asked this wonderful, childlike question the other day: "Where are all the good British TV shows? You know, like Boardwalk Empire and Homeland."
OK, he's 19 and we were watching Homeland, but still: Out of the mouths of babes...
We patiently explained to him that he was forgetting some of the shows we really enjoy, like Sherlock. "But that was just three episodes!" he exclaimed. "Yes, son, but they couldn't afford to make any more."
If you don't like reality TV, it's a pretty ghastly landscape out there. Plus if you're too cheap to buy Sky. Like me. So it's my own fault, really.
