Today I have done some reading for Uni, and finished the latest online assessment for my course. And I went for a powerwalk :)

oh!!! i love "the smoking room". i caught it by accident late at night a few years back when bbcA was airing it and i fell for it immediately. it was the pilot and the whole "how's the theme to little house go" got me from the first moment.

i think there are still a couple of series two eps i never saw, but bbcA opted not to run it and i never found them online.

I thought for a second about doing this meme but then almost every answer would be either House or Hugh Laurie.
