Eighteen months after More4's ridiculous decision to drop daily transmissions of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, it's nice to see it return to UK TV viewers. From last night the Comedy Central Extra channel (Virgin Media channel 185, Sky channel 128) began showing nightly episodes at the show at 10.30pm.
Last night's show took a wry look at the G4S security shambles for the London Olympics & delighted in juxtaposing some old stereotypes about England with the current reality of a capital in less than secure lockdown (http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-stewart-how-does-london-have-so-many-pre-olympics-security-problems/ ).

At last! It was about time!
And call me paranoid, but I always wondered if it had not been off air because of some veiled censorship. Stewart is iconoclastic in general, but he is especially so when it comes to British institutions.
