is it worth it for Ch4 to pay An higher price for inport?


Well they obviously think so.

Btw Grays Anatomy is shown on Living TV first so Five only hold the terrestrial rights.

The third season of Desperate Housewives is utterly brilliant, as is the second season of Prison Break.

One new series coming to our screen soon is VANISHED, I believe FIVE have acquired rights - it's incredible!

If you can't wait for the UK to pick up these shows, download the torrents, just like me.

I don't blame Channel 4 for triple paying to keep DH. Season 3 is really good, it's just as good as the first, and unlike Lost, DH has maintained it's audience from last-time in the USA.
Oh BTW, it's Grey's Anatomy (not US Spelling, the reason why it's called Grey's is because Meridith Grey is the central character)

Wonder what the ratio on US/British programme currently airing on all channels in the UK? I wouldnt expect it to be too much out.

Her character is only called "Grey" so they can make the rather obvious link to "Gray's Anatomy : The Anatomical Basis of Medicine and Surgery", the book medical students are required to study.

That's what I meant but forgot to take out the apostrophe.
