American idol is just a version of of a British show called Pop Idol. Ha. And you also got Simon Cowell ( and his amazingly high jeans). You give us the Sopranos and we give you Dancing on ice(and all those other dancing programs). That'll teach you not to forgive our debts. Just think if we'd had more money, we could have spent it on a third series of Fawlty Tower(or more likely Benny Hill)
