caddymanAfter nine years, six in analogue and the last three in digital, of cable TV I have finally, one month before getting rid of it, found the point.
UKTV: People have broadcast the entire 2004 run of Top Gear in one night. Tonight, in fact. That is to say that it is still being broadcast even as I type, at 2.12am. This surely is what cable TV is all about: watching an entire series of programmes about cars you can't afford, and doing so in a single sitting.
I have barely driven in the last 20 years. Living close to the centre of London, and with no parking spaces, together with neighbours who display both the penchant and talent for converting car radios into syringe fills of their favourite narcotic, a car is a luxury I can't afford, and don't need.
But.
I want Clarkson's job.
