BBC Two are repeating the whole of Arrested Development series two, with two episodes a night, from this week. If you haven't seen it, and you've got a PVR (or are up stupidly late, like us), you can remedy that (almost) immediately (although you might need to download the earlier episodes to get the best out of it). But still. Presumably, this is the same sort of "ooh cripes, we'd better get one last repeat out of it as our broadcast rights are about to expire"deal that saw the first series of 24 shown in multiple batches every Saturday night just after Match Of The Day.
This is A Good Thing. We would like to see more of it. If only they'd done this with Curb Your Enthusiasm when they still had it (instead of burying it at Stupid O'Clock on BBC Four).

Like some kind of stupid idiot I have had Arrested Development season 2 for a long time but not bothered watching it all. Mainly because I was waiting for a friend to catch up on season 1 and then forgot about it. I must continue watching.
Even when you're seen each episode half a dozen times, they're still perfectly hilarious. Quite often, I can't be bothered to watch repeats of shows that I'd originally loved (Scrubs, Malcolm in the Middle) because they seem to lose something when you're heard the jokes before. When it comes to AD, it's right up there with Classic Simpsons.
All a pity no-one in the USA watched it. More of a pity when massive Stateside audiences are currently cooing over the similar (only nowhere near as good) Dirty Sexy Money.
