Holy Crap!
It's about time is all I can say. I've been happily viewing my R2 DVDs, but this is great news for those who can't watch anything except R1 discs, and for those who missed any of the broadcasts on Showcase in Canada and BBC America in the States. So watch Life On Mars everyone! (And I don't need to clarify that it's the UK version I'm talking about, do I?)
