Fer serious, Russell T. Davies?

Stop playin', man.

Girlfriend can barely remember the words to her own songs, much less throngs of dialogue. And imagine how the TARDIS would smell after she's been there - it would make David Tennant and his fart cloud seem like a walk through a forest of honeysuckle.

In a first for both artists, Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris claim the No. 1 spot with their collaboration, "Dance Wiv Me." Swedish DJ-cum-pornstar Basshunter also jumped into the top 5 with his follow-up to his No. 1 smash, "Now You're Gone."

Anglophenia mentions two other programs it appears BBC America has no intention of airing again -- The F-Word and The Street (one of my all time favorite UK dramas by the way).

The article mentioning Not Going Out seemed to be kissing BBC America's butt. Nothing negative about how BBC America dumped some of the other "favorites" including Green Wing and Peep Show, plus nothing about the SciFi Channel's airing of newer episodes of Doctor Who--only BBC America's repeats. HMM maybe BBCA should have put more of that bribe money into their programming budget!
