pat - the small joke is that - in contrast say to Fawlty Towers which only had 12 or 15 episodes - Coronation Street, a soapy, has been running up to 5 times a week for 50 years or so. I'd doubt NJS ever watched it - except to fulminate.
You could combine that with the 120 disc set of "Law & Order" and not leave the house until 2017, or the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar, whichever comes first.
