was good - taped the last hour and watched it in the small hours and got sound drop-out on my Freeview box just when things were starting to kick off! :-(
When I wuz at school it was Pocker-hontas, but Disney's Poker-hontas is an improvement, IMHO, just like Pin-NOKE-keyo is - much nicer than Pin-NOCK-keyo, but less Italian! :-D

[nq:1]Thanks, Ian - Disney was correct, then - it IS Pin-NOKE-keyo - well I'm blowed! :-D[/nq]
