With reference to BFBS, Charles, you might use it as an example of how programme makers are willing to accept their programmes being received in English by certain groups on continental Europe under certain circumstances. Why not subscriptions for anyone who wants them?

And by the way, I think it highly appropriate that professional killers get to watch Eastenders since you-know-who has returned from Spain in one of the most improbable plot developments since Bobby Ewing was killed and then he wasn't.
