15.2.20 Greek Week Madness & Fucking Railways

Most weeks, I have a look through the TV Guide, to see what delights are contained within the glossy pages.  There is little that's ever a delight, as most of the schedules are packed with shite, repeats and nauseating excuses for programmes.  Anyway, I digress.  My keen eye noticed very quickly a rather unexpected pattern, or coincidence.
