   RHW is an absulote darling. Quite cute, too. :) I'd add Ron Moore, but   
   that's 'cos he's a lovely chap and I've met him several times. He's also a   
   damn fine writer. Interestingly, there are a very few TV writers in the UK   
   who can add kudos to a show - Lynda La Plante is one. Kay Mellor and Carla   
   Lane are the others I'd cite. But I do think that the dynamics of UK TV can   
   be slightly different.

   God, I'd forgotten them. I recall them trying to talk garbage about police   
   systems and telecoms. Heh.
