I bet you were expecting something else :)

I did go on to watch Dr Who (needed to catch up) and some other stuff from sky but the Eddie thing was on while I was setting it all up.

edit - I was surprised at how much better the picture was compared to my old set.

My old one was a cheapo (at the time) £350 one from asda and was about 4 years old.

My dad got me a Toshiba one from Argos that was £200.

Both are 32inch but the new one is much better.

My old one didn't even have freeview built in.

Not at all Dilli, but I'm pleased You've got a new TV, many hours of watching to come I'll bet

Yes, in August, 5 weeks after the wedding.

Staying at Gisborough Hall so off and about the Pennines & North York Moors...

Can't wait, boyhood dream to drive one of these ever since watching The Prisoner!
