It's the reason I stock a library of quality DVD series, movies etc...as most things on free to air TV are crap. SBS (ethnic station) and ABC (Australian govt. station) do have some excellent docos and mini series etc.. but otherwise it's the DVDs for me.
Then of course there's my extensive library of books and music etc.. so luckily I'm never bored plus the pod casts of various travel and literary radio programs we have here.
And of course wandering the bookshops and cafes of my beloved City (Melbourne) on weekends, reading, listening to music etc.....
