What's funny about all this is that I did manage to see "Bad Wolf," and I was only able to appreciate the jokes because all of the game shows featured in the episode did come over here in American versions. I was a big fan of the American "Weakest Link" while it was on (Me shouting at the set: "Bank! Bank, you idiot!"), before of course they ruined it by doing too many all-celeb episodes. But thanks to American importing I was able to recognize the "Weakest Link" set, Anne Robinson's hair, and so on just as quickly as a Brit. So I was a very, very happy Yank.
And how many people have had exactly that feeling--that Anne was two seconds away from vaporizing you! Hilarious.
