Still don't get the white misogynistic thing about 'The Wire'. One of the strongest characters is a black lesbian. This episode (Season1 episode 2) gets its title from the astute observation that 'If you don't play you can't lose.' This observation is made by the lieutenant's wife. Of course this doesn't prove that it's Spare Rib friendly but it's a long way short of the testosterone levels of say, Top Gear or Rugby Special. It's not yet at the level of the best thing on TV for the last twenty years but we're two episodes in and I'm hooked.
Off on holiday to Norfolk tomorrow. Had to check if cottage had DVD player so we could continue to watch my beloved new box set. It hasn't so room in the car will have to be made for the DVD player.
