a delightful ITV adaptation of Pollyanna, the most faithful yet - but set in pre-WW1 England.
There is an irony to that I'll have to think about.
Luckily for Canada, Americans tend to totally ignore our culture and history, so they don't touch it to distort it. An infamous line from an American senator when the Free Trade talks were going on: someone said the Canadians were concerned about the effect on Free Trade on Canadian culture and he said, "What Canadian culture?" Which sort of summed up the whole problem....
It's often said that you can tell a Canadian from an American by asking who won the war of 1812. Though I suppose Canadians and Americans would give the same answer: "We did!"
