2 persons have something to say about this!:
Thanks for the update, I am glad to see Big Bang Theory is back, even happier you pointed it out before I missed half the series as I don't regularly check E4!
Also Beyond Sherwood Forest has been being shown repeatedly on the UK SciFi channel (yes still SciFi in the UK), I have not watched it yet (kept missing it), but recorded it last night so will hopefully watching it in a day or two!
Yes, I noticed Beyond Sherwood Forest was on SciFi the other day, but haven't recorded it yet - it's bound to come back repeatedly ;)
