I find it much less Uk ruling-class than the domestic BBC. Far more balanced in the Iraq coverage. And loads of interesting stuff you'd never get elsewhere. The other night there was a 15 minute interview with a French guy who tightrope walked between the towers of the World Trade Center. Utterly illegal thing for him to have done, and yet the coverage was in a total praise-tone.

The only thing I can't handle is the soap opera Westway, but I'll let that off cos the theme tune is so good, and anyway, like everything else on the WS, it's only 15 minutes long and there'll be something interesting afterwards.
