Anyway, British TV is pretty poor at the moment. We have crap soaps along with a bit of comedy.

I was aiming for comedy first.

But yeah, Doctor Who and, to a lesser extent, Torchwood.

A very true statement.

PlayStation 3 Software Outsells PlayStation 2 - News at SPOnG.com

What with the PS3's launch anniversary in Europe fast approaching, we thought we'd try and find out just how well the beast has been stacking up against its elder sibling.

So, we asked those good people at Chart-Track to lets us into some UK-only figures.

So, they told us that in terms of software units sold, the PlayStation 3 has been outselling the PS2 in terms of units sold... since February this year. Sales in terms of value - PS3 games are more expensive than PS2 - have been in favour of the PS3 since January.

The actual figures in February for software units sold saw the PS3 standing at 9.4% all video games software sold, with PS2 standing at 8.3% - these figures are, of course, copyright ELSPA and compiled by Chart-Track.

Bear in mind that that the Nintendo DS in the same month took nearly 25% of the entire market on its own.

It's also worth noting that pre-owned (second hand) sales of video games software are not reported - so they can't be tracked.

I'd like to see all the numbers, these don't say very much, except that DS is selling a lot of games.

The Office is a British show? I didn't think so...unless there are 2 versions with the same name.

There are. There's The Office with Ricky Gervais, and The Office: An American Workplace with Steve Carrell.

Yes it is. The Office US is a spin-off. The original series is British, staring Ricky Gervais.

Or.....what Cheda said....

I didn't know that. Well, I'm not a huge fan of the show anyway.
