I was just reading about a drama being produced for BBC-One called ‘The Girl in the Café.” It was written by Richard Curtis, the screenwriter for “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Love Actually”, “Notting Hill” and (I think) “Bridget Jones.” The show will air this summer as part of BBC’s celebration of African culture.

In the U.S., we cannot get BBC-One; we do get BBC America, but I tend to doubt it will air this program. On the other hand, with the sad state of sitcoms and other network fare, wouldn’t American audiences (who are fans of Curtis’ films) be eager to see this TV-movie? I would.

The answer? (You saw this one coming)—let me download the show on the Web. I’ll even pay for it. Given the difference in TV formats (PAL vs. NTSC), downloading the file makes sense.

Anyone listening?
