In this episode, I talk to my pal RICK LAWLOR who migrated with his family to Canada around six years ago, and who is now a full citizen.
It's a long conversation in which we talk about the many differences between experiencing television in the UK and those of Canada, including the vast number of channels, the strange bombardment of advertising, sitting on a continent in the second largest country in the world with the United States as a next door neighbour, and some of the more recent output from the CBC.
We then move on to a more nostalgic view of the television we used to watch, and how much of it is available to be easily viewed in a completely different broadcasting environment, and what sort of choices are made with hanging on to your DVD collection when you relocate to a brand new country.
Weirdly, perhaps, we don't even mention SCHITT'S CREEK, possibly because my recent binge-watch hadn't even started at that point.
