I love catch-up facilities

I found myself in the weird position of checking I could find Dave on the EPG in the house the other day. (An explanation for people outside the UK, Dave is the name of a free-to-air TV channel that claims to be the home of witty banter, in an attempt to fight people like me’s long-established perception that it’s the place where ‘funny’ panel shows and Top Gear air on repeat.) It’s now the home of Parks and Recreation, which was on last night in the much more sensible 8 p.m. slot than BBC Four’s late-night one - seriously, I remember an interview where the cast were criticising it.

But although 8 o’clock on a Monday night is a good slot in theory, in practice, it was a relief I’d also checked that Dave has a catch-up facility online, because my life being what it is at the moment, there was no way I was going to be able to watch it live. So I’m probably going to sneak in a few more season 3 Leslie/Ben fics before I do – does that make me a bad fan? A selfish one. I want Dave to be glad they bought the rights, but I also want to read more fic before canon moves on.

(In other TV news, I plan to catch up eventuallyon Tuppence and Tommy’s adventures and Person of Interest, which is back this week. SHAW! BEAR! MACHINE! Strong likelihood of helicopters and defenestration!!!)

What I did do last night was catch up on Nashville
