Default Last night was a good night for television

8pm - Channel 4 - The Root Of All Evil - the excellent Richard Dawkins trying to argue against some of the most mind-numbingly ignorant individuals on the planet.

9pm - BBC 1 - Life On Mars - I was sceptical when I watched the trailers, but I think it could be a decent series. Certainly the opener was a cracker.

10pm - C4 - New ER - need I say any more?

11pm - C4 - Without A Trace - series finale, and an ace one at that.

All in all a good night to watch TV, just a pity I was supposed to be doing other stuff, but it can wait.

I watched nip/tuck with my flatmate.... cracking.
Tonight = The new season of The O.C on E4.

The problem being is I'm working away and am checking into my hotel tonight... they say they have satellite TV... and even freeview includes E4... so fingers crossed I can watch it.

God I hate it when they change actors between seasons, though I am relived that the little diabetic kid turned out OK in the end. (ER related if you don't know what I'm talking about.)

I don't have digital, but I notice Animals is on C4 soon, so it seems logical that More4 stuff like The Bloody Circus will make its way there eventually.

I will start watching programmes like this when they stop getting scientists to present them, and start employing theologians, i.e people who have studied religion, and understand its importance, rather than instant skeptics

Richard Dawkins came across as incredibly arrogant and rude in that program.

What I saw was a good programme but it seems to me like another example of preaching to the converted. Most of the people that watched it were probably on his side beforehand and the rest only watched it so they could get a good load of righteous anger built up for their complaint letters.

Forgot about Life on Mars. Watched big brother instead.

ER was good.
