Telly listings for the UK
If you like telly, you’ll love these:
- TV Squad
- The Custard
- Chortle
- Introduction to Babylon 5
- TV Comedy Resources
- Complete Buffy episode guide
- LOST Wikipedia
Notes:
TV Squad is very USA oriented, but a possible useful source of info. TV Custard is UK based. TV Comedy Resources is basic but poss. useful. Chortle is mainly about comedy. LOST wiki is one of many, but a good starting point. And finally, I may be the only person on the planet who has never seen even a single episode of Babylon Five.
