I watch many of the documetaries produced by PBS when they come oun our TV
here in australia...  20 year-old re-runs of "The undersea world of Jaques
Cousteau" wouldn't be something I's make a point to watch though.

currently one of our government sponsored stations id re-ruinning Doctor
Who  (currenlty showing the first series)
