[The Life of Shaun #50] Never Mind the Full Stops

Anyone who's visited the UK knows TV here is a lot different than in the US.  A lot of it is dreadful, but a lot is great.  Earlier this year I was in love with "Balderdash and Piffle" a show that traced the origin of English words.

Tonight Natasha and I watched one of the cerebral 'game shows' that would only work in England -- the type that is all about the guests' answers & commentary, not about winning.  It's called "Never Mind the Full Stops" and it's a quiz show about everything & anything English.  If you're so inclined, you can check out the link:

But just another little cultural thing that makes me love living here.  :)

Cheers,
Shaun
