I just wanted to introduce myself quickly and say hello to everyone! First off, I see there's a member with the screen name "aussiegirl". Don't worry, aussiegirl.. I wasn't lacking in screen name ideas and decided to swipe a bit of yours. :-) It's a screen name I use on a few other boards... it's in reference to the Beatles song of the same name. Well, now that that's cleared up... I came across this site just a few days ago after I was reminded of how much I adore thee always awesome Tom Hollander. I recently moved to Seattle, WA and last week I was lucky enough to go on board Lady Washington.. which is the ship that portrayed the HMS Interceptor in the first Pirates of the Caribbean film. This, of course, got me thinking about the other films... and that oh so sexy Lord Beckett. Well....anyway.... Right around that same time I rented a movie that had a trailer for In the Loop at the beginning. Low and behold... there was Tom Hollander! I rented it the very next day... and here I am now. Up way too late... putting more Tom Hollander dvds on hold at my local library. I have to get caught up now, after all. Hehe. Oh, and I am sooo excited for Rev., but it seems I can't watch it here in the states... I wonder if it will be available online somewhere.. Hmmm...

Hi there and welcome! I'm always glad to meet another TH fan! I'm so excited for Rev. too, and I also have to figure out how to watch it over here. I remember I was able to find Desperate Romantics while it was airing on the BBC with a little searching around the internet, so let's both keep our fingers crossed!

Hi trickypixie and thank you for the welcome! Did you by any chance choose your name because of the band Tricky Pixie? Just curious.. Anyway, it sure is great to meet someone who even knows what I'm talking about when I mention Rev. Haha. I'm certainly keeping my fingers crossed and I'll keep searching around for a way to watch it. Where there's a will, there's a way, right? ;D Oh, and one more thing... trickypixie, I LOVE your sig photo!

Hi
nice to have you onboard. There are lots of goodies if you take a bit of time to look around.
The webmistress here lives in the US, and is able to use BBCiPlayer(for a small fee?) so if you have broadband, maybe you could look into that, in order to watch Rev, and lots of other BBC goodies.

Hi! Nice to see you. It's always exciting to meet new admirer of Tom. About Rev., although I live in Japan, which is far from the UK, I've been looking forward to seeing it dreadfully. I'm watching it with BBC iPlayer. I learnt how to watch BBC iPlayer from abroad from Deb, who is the webmistress of here. I watched Gracie! with the way she taught me. If you want to do that, I think you should google like "VPN", "UK". Hope you'll be able to enjoy the Rev.. ;D

Hello greeneyedgirl, ineko, and ani! Thank you for the welcome and the info about this BBC iplayer. I will have to look into it. I came across it once before, but it said I couldn't use it in my region. I imagine there's a way around that. There sure are a lot of goodies here to keep me busy in the meantime. I'm definitely having fun!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.. a zillion times - THANK YOU!!! ;D Yes, I am just a little excited to be able to watch the BBC iPlayer. I mean, really.. this made my day. It is pretty wonderful. Especially since US TV is pretty much crap. BBC has so much better programming. I am sure they have their share of crap too but on the whole I love it. You might want to check out QI when it is on. So great! You will laugh your head off and learn something too.
