Why?

I appreciate we are entering a new era of television, in which everything will soon be available on demand in super-duper high-definition bells-and-whistles whatever, but let's make something clear: in Hook Norton, that era has not yet arrived, and I'd appreciate it if, in future, the people in charge of television could understand this and act accordingly. The Mighty Boosh is one of my favourite television programs, in part because of the lavish way they approach the visual and musical aspects of the medium. When I'm watching the advance preview over the internet in cacky Real Player streaming quality, I can't help but feel I'm missing some of the point of the show. When I switch to the only alternative and watch the flickering black screen, complete with helpful "bad signal" error message, that constitutes BBC3 in rural Oxfordshire, with intermittent frozen images of Howard and Vince in bizarre tableaux doing something that looks like it might be very funny if they were actually, like, moving, I can't help but feel pretty pissed off. Perhaps Mr BBC feels we country folk wouldn't get the advanced, urban-flavoured irony of The Boosh? Perhaps he feels that repeating it later in the week on a channel I can actually receive would be wasting the valuable licence fees of hard-working city-dwellers? I guess this is how it feels if you disagree with the hunting ban, that knowledge that you're part of the rural minority who are bullied by the clueless smog-breathers, only with a less pronounced sense of being a total dickhead who tortures animals for fun. Hmmm, that was pretty unrelated, sorry. And yet somehow I've arrived at the end of my point.
