My wife recently presented me with the complete 12-episode
collection on DVD, with the simple caveat that I not make her
watch them, of any of them, ever again, particularly "Basil the
Rat," which is my favorite. Or I suppose I should spell
that "favourite" in this context.
I think, since I'm now retired with lots of spare time, she's
trying to keep me occupied and out of trouble. She should know
better.

"...as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know
we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say,
we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also
unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know." -- Donald
