Oh, thanks for the info on the show, Anne! You are the second of my friends to recommend it highly, and it does sound like something Deirdre and I could get happily addicted to. Not sure how to find it here in the U.S. though - perhaps I'll check the SiFi lineup.

And what you say about Arthur as James - yes. I will never understand either why Rowling had to diminish her characters as she did, or how some fans can fail to see they are diminished. It would have been a relief to me if James had been as you describe Arthur.

About the song: I don't really know what inspired the artist to write it, but a fan of the show put the video together and it's just wonderfully apt. It certainly is a good ad both for this woman's music and for the episode!
