But -- GSS -- Wesley explained who Hedge & Donna were in his post... (BTW, I'm from the US, and I've never heard of them, either.)

You have to admit your original post was a tad cryptic...
Do all English folks know who Dr Beech is?

I don't think Joe is saying the programme is only of interest to English Catters, just that a bit more explanation/elaboration in your first post would have been a good thing.

Note: Please don't take offense. I ain't tryin' to pick a fight with ya... just tryin' to point out that I do perceive a difference between Wesley S's post and yours.

Cheers!
