I have a new favorite television show (since Doctor Who is finished until Christmas and Top Gear doesn't start for another two weeks.) If you can find it on some BBC channel it's called QI:Quite Interesting. The basic premise is that Stephen Fry (if you've seen V for Vendetta, he's the big gay fella with a koran) sits with four other british personalities and asks them trivia questions. The difference is the scoring is based more on being interesting rather than getting the exactly right answer. If you give a boring answer a big alarm goes off and you lose ten points. Tonnes of random facts and insane british people.
oh, Hugh Laurie (House) was on the first few episodes and also had a comedy skit show with Stephen Fry.
