Look closely at the external shots and you see that nearly every
flat has a satellite dish. These people aren't poor, they just have
inexplicable priorities.


Umm... Digital switchover in London is in 2012. In flats it might be
difficult to upgrade the aerial system (because that might mean one
on the roof and a shared distribution system, which everyone would
have to agree to and pay for), so going for a satellite option isn't
that silly. As we're continually being told that we must switch over
sooner or later and the zillions of exciting new channels that await
us, maybe they're just prepared?
