    Because despite them saying how bad it was it was a hugely popular episode.

    Thats why it was hugely popular, TG plugged into every sterotype and lurking prejudice you can think of.

    Depends who pays for them to make it. If HBO do so then the ads isn't a problem anymore as afaik they don't show ads.

    Jaysus, and to think J.C. accused Hamster of looking all "Brokeback" in that American episode of the last series. I think he needs to take a look in the mirror first! ;) Just look at the Frankie Howard/Kenneth Williams "Ohhhh Matron!" look about him in that pic for christsake! :eek: :D

    And I wonder why exactly Captain Slow is pointing at Jezza? :confused:
