| | Posted: | | | | There aren't very many British series that, when re-made for the US market, do well. 'Eleventh Hour', however, is quite enjoyable. I guess it just goes to show how good things can be when they are managed by a good Executive Producer. In addition, I have to thank you guys for Gordon Ramsay. He is quite the character to watch. I used to think he was just putting us yanks on but, catching Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America, I see that he is what he is. So, thanks for two British imports that I really enjoy. One question though...while I have figured out what "Bollocks" are, what does "Godsmacked" mean?  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Stuart Yea, but that only works if you know that 'gob' means mouth.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
