Also, what was with that godawful flag thing between scenes? Was it incase you forgot what country the show is set in? If they go abroad, does it change to a different flag? Like the old transformers cartoon used to change from Autobots to the Decepticons. Well, even with PAYG, if they’re all homeless and desparate, how do they pay for the topups?

Also the way in which the scenes set in public looked perfectly normal, considering that the economic centre of the country had been destroyed; that there would no longer be a seat for international trading along with the loss of a great deal of farm land not to mention the huge upheaval in infrastructure which would necessitate a drastic increase in taxation upon an already desperate population. My favourite was the way in which everyone had mobile 'phones and yet half the population seemed to be of no fixed abode. Where are the bills sent? I suppose that they can be on pay-as-you-go but still... I particularly liked the division of the North into sectors with no explanation of what they mean.

You've obviously never seen Scallywagga, or the truly amazing Trex And Flipside. Not to mention the unmissable Eastenders Revealed. Seriously, though, Monkey Dust is pretty good, as was Man Stroke Women. The rest is fucking bilge, though. Has BBC3 produced anything good?

Generally it's the stuff that gets migrated to BBC2 ;) (FWIW, I thought the first couple of series of Little Britain were hilarious, and that was on BBC3. Shame they went downhill so quickly) BBC3 *have* produced some good original programming. Generally it’s the stuff that gets migrated to BBC2 ;)
