BBC1 NOW! LOTR Mickey-take

we have "BBC America" over here, aldesign, and we also get French and Suanders on Friday and Thursday nights. Judging from Parkinson, we even get pretty up-to-date material off the BBC. We get BBC news, of course, and a lot of comedy like reruns of Father Ted and Coupling, as well as too much "Ground Force" and "Changing Rooms". "My Fair Lady, for some reason, played fifty-six times recently......

Right now there is some tribute to John Cleese called "forever Cleese" being rerun.

But, we get a good Soccer show which allows me to catch up on the Premier League, so it's worth it having digital cable. Plus I get Fox Sports World which carries La Liga, Serie A and Bundeslige games.......

A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160.
