In this day and age, with so veryvery many Technological Advances, and so manymany Consumer Offerings, I cannot understand why I am unable to watch Days of our Lives.
Leaving aside the question of why I would want to watch DOOL - it is brilliant television, I promise you; don't be rude - don't you think here, in London, with digital TV and everything, it should be easily accessible? But no. It used to be on, apparently. But no more.
What I want, see, is this. I want customised TV. I want to be able to order, not just the channels, but the programmes I want. Get me DOOL! But no other soaps, please. I'll take Buffy, but not Angel. Any series HBO cares to offer. And, you know, occasionally I might try something new. Surprise me. But don't you dare deny me the essentials. DOOL. Now.
Is it any wonder I watch so many DVDs, and so little TV? Any time I switch on the telly I seem to have a choice between gardening, cooking, What Not To Wear and The Simpsons. Obviously the Simpsons will win, but when that's the only option, frankly, it palls. It palls.
DOOL does exist. At a price. It's called Sky+ (or any PVR, really). You may know this already. If not, Google PVR...
