can anyone recommend anything good to watch? or read?

I don't know about American cable tv, but I do watch too much telly. I'll stick to tv-tips then. The 'Hornblower' tv-series now out on DVD is grand for your fix on accents and adventure. Alternatively 'Sharpe' with Sean Bean is probably on BBC America now and equally good. If you like period action series, pirates, that sort of thing. You really should watch the UK versions of 'Coupling' and 'The Office' too, far better than their American spin-offs and extremely funny bite-size entertainment. I agree with you 'Black Books' was excellent too. 'Nighty Night' is equally odd but darker fun.

trainwreck television; it's so bad it's good - the office (UK version), though you've undoubtedly seen it.

em, not many good shows i can think of. books though are another thing.

any terry prachett or neil gaiman.

George Orwells 1984, animal farm.

Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World.

a funny one is Pete McCarthy's book McCarthy's bar. it's about a half english half irish guy travelling through ireland. very funny.

er, trying to think........ interview with a vampire was quite good too.

Anime... Hm. i could propose specific A or wonderful complicated, in all possibility. Code Geass: Lelouch of the revolt. pass Beat has an anime now curiously, you may desire to could desire to seek a touch to discover the episodes although. This one has a touch romance in it, even no be counted if it is previous. Angelic Layer is an addicting anime, and it does not get previous, a minimum of i do no longer think of so. And the final one i could desire to declare could be Princess Tutu, in case you haven't any longer already seen it.
