- Reminds me of the times I would be waiting for the BBC lineup on PBS. We'd see
- Blake's 7, then see a lovely BBC scenery film featuring sheep and other
- wildlife. Then we'd see Dr. Who, then another BBC film with sheep and
- sweeping pastoral scenery. Then, Good Neighbors, and another bloody sheep
- film! I swear, they were the cameramen who later worked on Koyanisqatsi
- (or however it's pronounced)... Afterwards, To the Manor Born, and a film
- featuring sheep and architecture (don't ask, really). Monty Python rounded
- out the nigh, followed by one last film with cats, jungle cats, and sheep
- before the signoff.
-
- For every show featuring british actors or muppets, you have five or ten
- that make me crack a book. (Of course, that is accomplished by just about
- anything!) And compared to network TV, that is an incredibly good ratio...
-
- But help stamp out sheep films!
