Actually, it seems to be an "advert" for a collect of tapes that the network
was trying to sell, Dr. Who, Blakes 7 and Red Dwarf.  The advert seems
to appear before and after (randomly) with each episode on the copy I
have.

That's what I said when I first started reading several similar
complaints about it that were posted last year when season V was
broadcast in the UK.

But now that I've seen it myself, I found myself just as frustrated
with the announcements as everyone else. It was a shortish blurb by
this woman with a distinctive and annoying voice [ in that context ],
and they played it over EVERY beginning and end of the series credits,
just after the song started. You have to hear it to experience it;
it defies description to do it justice! People weren't objecting to
knowing what Danny John-Jules was up to; it was just the annoying way
they turned off the theme song just after the credits started, just when
you least expected it - to do it!

Maybe they thought they were appealing too much to the viewing audience, and
public TV isn't supposed to do that.  :-)

My local station gets a lot of pledges from _Doctor Who_ fans, but so few
people watch the show that the ratings service can't measure them.  The
programmer said that as long as people keep paying for _Doctor Who_ he'll show
it, even if they don't watch it.  Public TV is strange.

ObRD: Barely enough people (something like four percent) watch _Red Dwarf_ here
that they can be measured.  I guess as long as we make sure the figures stay
down, the station will keep running the series.  :-)

Fifth better than the Second?   I don't think they can ever make
something better than Season Two.   To me the first two seasons
(and more the 2nd than the first) are gold.    They're STILL some
of the funniest television I've ever seen, depsite having seen
them zillions of times.

True, but there are a few American shows that have decent writing
for the 20 shows in a season.  "Cheers" was pretty good for the 5-10
years it was on, for example.  

Maybe it's a BBC thing.  Almost every BBC comedy I've seen was in
6 episode bursts (fawlty towers, young ones, etc)

No, sorry.  It's definitely an item you can find in any quality Indian
restaurant.  It's usually smeared with a very distinctively flavoured
paste/sauce which is generally brown, but the sauce's exact ingredients vary.
I've also purchased some "bog rolls" at a supermarket, but they came without
sauce, and I had to provide my own.

Hope this helps.
