Crikey-o-blimey! That was all kinds of wonderful. I suspect I won’t be the only one going back through the whole 5 series of Hunt, though.

I’m really hoping that last week’s “Sam Tyler” was meant as an exposition device to allow people who only watched A2A (or worse, only the current series) to understand what the flip will be going on in the finale.

A man can dream.

See, this is the reason I refused to touch an Apple product whilst looking for an mp3 player – logically, I knew that the only iPods that did what I wanted were way above my budget and required iTunes (something I keep locked away on an old laptop for the times when it is useful), but I was worried that the form factor & interface combined would be too tempting. I’ve now got a Zen and adore it but my girlfriend left her two-year old Nano in arms reach and it really was quite nice. Which is to say, I can totally understand why people like Apple products in spite of various drawbacks.

Anyway, good to hear that the RDRS files are DRM-free. Might be tempted to crack out my old laptop and convince it to talk to the internets.

::Bonus edit content:: Isn’t (Brand)Cast a pretty standard way of referring to chunks of downloadable talky entertainment at this point? Certainly, it never occurred to me that the name might be an explicit jab at Apple rather than a neat shorthand. That’s neat as in tidy, obviously.
On the other hand, I did always enjoy Chris Moyles stressing that you could always use a ‘generic mp3 playback device’ to listen to their podcasts back when they were a shiny new feature.

Thoroughly enjoying the present two parter. Not least for the mild Doctor Dwarfism (hurrah for Baxter’s illicit hooch!) and my bi-annual Jessica Hynes fix.
