[Groop] Spaced: the DVD

[CharlesK at mchsi.com]

Ah yes, I see the guy on the right (Bill Bailey) in the one shot is also from
"Black Books", which I've only seen the first season which I thought was
HI-larious.  I was told season two wasn't as good but that season three was
better.  The BBC tends to put out better comedies than the US does, which is
probably why the US copies many UK shows.

Besides the picture of Groo, I guess I have no other links to Groo for this
message.  Sorry.
