The Brits might love their TV even more than we do, or maybe fewer of them have DV-R. A new poll revealed that a fifth of those surveyed regularly shun family, friends, and partners so they won’t miss their favorite TV shows. Some planned vacations around TV schedules, and 17 percent of women between 16 to 24 said they will either speed up or skip sex so they can watch TV. “Loyal fans let little stand in the way of seeing their favorite show,” said The Sun Tiscali TV director Simon Hunt. Yeah, heaven forbid life get in the way of TV. [Sify]

That is the silliest thing I have ever heard. Planning your life around TV? I don’t even watch shows that I absolutely LOVE when they air. I DVR everything so I can watch it later commercial free. The British really need to get their hands on DVR. It will change their lives. :-p
