It takes a while to get accustomed to the accent, but the quality is worth it. Well, usually. British scifi (except for Dr. Who) doesn't hold a candle to Australian scifi...compare Jupiter Moon to FarScape.<br /><br />American broadcasting has almost been totally successful at convincing people that nothing they hear is the truth.

Truly I am. The Olympics were spectacularly well done (I personally could have done without all the pop music in the opening and closing ceremonies, but that's just me). I don't want to rain on your parade. Self-esteem is good.
