Lvl9? Still getting bitch-slapped by the rabbits in the local woods, then.

I see much, much grinding ahead for you.

Seriously, try any of these: Science & Mathematics | The Great Courses®

They will make you understand how c-r-a-p regular TV actually is; the are quite simply in a different league.

Yes, they look good. Bit pricey, though.

Edit: I've changed my mind after watching one of the previews! That Joy of Maths (sorry "Math" - it's American) looked well dodgy!

Interesting. Learn diff calc and calculate satellite orbits, now that's fun.

I think you'll find the language of Mathematics is universal.

Oh, and always wait for the course to go on Sale before buying. They all do throughout the year, and the savings are huge (like this The Great Courses - Queen of the Sciences: A History of Mathematics)

It's a real shame. New Tricks, Doctor Who and Dragon's Den are about the only things I've watched on telly in the past ten years...

...I don't know whether I've just hit that age where I can't suspend disbelief...

That's Dr Who out then. ( 7:20 tonight btw ).

I can't think of what I last watched on BBC1 or ITV1 in recent weeks. Mostly, we're on E4 and Film4 - which our cable provider started piping at the start of the year. (Ten years ago, we had just BBC Prime and BBC World in English - very dire).

New Tricks

I never watch the TV at all. I just read Google News to see what is going on,Watch YouTube and the odd video I buy in the Charity Shops.

It's a real shame. New Tricks, Doctor Who and Dragon's Den are about the only things I've watched on telly in the past ten years. I quite like all the characters, especially Brian Lane played by Alun Armstrong, and the writing's always been good. Now they seem to be imploding under the weight of their own egos.

I feel profoundly sorry for you if that's all you've watched in the last 10 years. I dont watch anything off the BBC as its leftist nonsense. So pretty much all the tv I watch is American. You could have been watching 24, Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl, Fringe, Game of Thrones, Nikita, Rome, Spartacus, Stargate Atlantis, Strikeback, Supernatural, The walking dead, True Blood. And those are just ones off the top of my head.

Get out there, and switch off the states indoctrination channels.

That's Dr Who out then. ( 7:20 tonight btw ).

BBC Wales film Dr Who in and around our town every year. My youngest still thinks it's real and that the Doctor just lives around here.

I guess that's nicer than knowing the whole thing's made up.
