Mary Poppins was a good movie, but it was over-Hollywood-ified. I felt there was some secrect connection between Poppins and the bag lady (bird woman?) that should have been explored, but wasn’t.

The next time you want to talk about Doctor Who or British broadcasting in general, please get someone British on the show and talk to them first. Your collective knowledge of things British is even worse than mine.
Hello, Englishman here.
A Television’s a “Telly”
A Telephone’s a “Phone”.
The TV Tax is called the License Fee, and is compulsory for anyone with a TV receiver (even a PC with TV card). You need one per address (not per set). It pays for the BBC, who produce Dr Who amongst other things. Other channels are paid for by advertising or additional subscription.
Tally ho,
PhilB
Btw. that’s the same for us here in Germany. We also have those license fees.
Unfortunately however, we don’t have any good scifi shows. And have to wait ages, before we get the good shows on TV (no BSG yet, no Dr. Who, and for SG were more than a year or so behind…)
… but we have lots of good beers 😉
