I've come home this weekend, because it's my mother's birthday on Tuesday and I thought it'd be a nice daughterly thing to do. Tonight we've just been hanging out, watching TV. My mother normally only watches things like Panorama specials about orphans in south-east Asia, documentaries about doctors on BBC4 (aka the most boring channel on earth), and University Challenge.

Tonight we watched Robin Hood. She howled with laughter the entire time, expressed sadness at not having watched it before, and declared her intention to watch it every week from now on.

Bizarre.

While I am delighted that your mother and you enjoyed Robin Hood, I can't accept any disrespect shown to University Challenge! I ♥ Jeremy Paxman 4 evah, yo. ;D

No disrespect intended! University Challenge should be part of any well-rounded collection of TV viewing. But it's normally the only kind of TV she watches. Well, that and Ugly Betty, but that didn't fit my humorous anecdote.
