He's sixteen, way too old to need a babysitter but there was an incident last year with a party and a trashed house and my step-mother swore never to leave him alone in the house again. Plus he's revising and needs someone to crack the whip. And you know, sadly, I couldn't recommend a single UK series. I don't watch a lot of telly so maybe there's been some gems I've missed. Shameless was very good for the first two series, but in regional accents probably incomprehensible to an American. Torchwood was so astoundingly bad it put me off DR Who in retrospect. I really can't think of anything, that's so sad. And Philip Glenister is a fat ugly man about fifteen years my senior who plays a misoginist alcoholic on TV. And if I ever met him I'd jump him.
