[Panel 1]

[Nils]
Try it now...?

[Bell]
You're live.

[Nils]
Donner. It's the fuse then.

[Bell]
What's so wrong with having a
TV, again? The football's over
anyway, so we CAN'T see it by
accident and get furious...

[Nils]
We have a TV, we have to have a licence.


[Panel 2]
[Nils]
Nobody here wants to watch broadcast
telly. Just films on DVD, and old
programmes off the fileserver. But
the inspectors come round and say
"aha, that's a television, cough up".

[Bell]
Do you need this screw back?

[Nils]
So that's a hundred and twenty
pounds a year I could be
spending on beer. Er, and DVDs.

[Bell]
And they won't mind the
projector because...?


[Panel 3]
[Nils]
It just displays what's
on the computer, and
there's no TV card in
there. No aerial, no
broadcast, no fee.

[Bell]
But I know how to work the
TV. How am I supposed to
cope with your computer?

[Nils]
Easy, just use the remote.

[Bell]
Nils, the reason you gave for
getting rid of the TV right now was
that the remote got broken when
Elizabeth threw it at a footballer,
and it was cheaper to get a new
system than to buy a new remote.

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
THIS remote isn't broken.

[Bell]
Er...

[Nils]
It even has the
same login as your
account on the
house servers.

[Bell]
You're just trying to
make me use your
computers, aren't you?

[Nils]
What, me? Would I do
a thing like that?

[Bell]
Yes.

[Bell]
And if YOU can't get the picture the
right way up, what chance have I got?
