   	Oh, good eyes.  I haven't got HD anything, although it does   
   happen I had to watch the show on the computer --- which I suppose is   
   technically HD --- so the screen was much smaller than normal.

   	Mm.  Maybe.  Although having him just waiting there meant they   
   could have cut back to Bernard waiting by the bus stop the rest of the   
   show.  They didn't (or it was edited out), but they could have.
