4. God bless cheap BBC/PBS productions, I say...
...they tend to be damn sight better than most American network crap.

I recall seeing an unwanted fly buzzing around and occasionally landing on the actors in a scene during "I, Claudius," I think it was. That would NEVER happen on a multi-million-dollar network show, but so what? "I, Claudius" was amazing.
