Telly that bridges the Pond
So much to watch, so little time. Am I right? This month there are fourteen national program premieres from the UK, Canada, and Ireland, and much more besides.

Folks say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Not so when it comes to Brit TV this month, because it starts and ends with roaring successes.
What’s the craic? The award-winning, hilarious Irish sitcom Bridget & Eamon, that’s what.
