Interested in how many people have died on AMC's hit show Breaking Bad? Well, here's the place to find out...

Remember, it's very possible to make a case that all of these deaths can be tied back in one way or another to the actions of one Walter White... if you're willing to debate, shoot off below in the comments.

Well, this is awkward...

So, after a long absence, I'm back. Who cares, I know. But anyway, here's something:
Ricky Gervais today tweeted:
"G'day Australian fans
An idiot abroad 2 starts this Wednesday on your lovely channel 10
And Karl goes to your neck of the woods for a swim"
Now while this is a nice little tweet to us Australian fans (he knows we exist!!), it unfortunately is incorrect. Now let me make clear: this is no fault of Ricky's, I'm sure, and this isn't a post to attack His Greatness, rather, to attack the supposedly "lovely" Channel Ten.
You see, this week, Ten originally planned to screen An Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List, but did a massive back-flip, and instead air the first series (only months after it finished airing on its digital channel One). Now obviously, it is to capitalize on its relative popularity on the digital channel, but it's another case of Ten treating its viewers with contempt, and now it has been shown up on a global scale.
Ricky, Karl, et al, keep up the great work. Ten? At least pretend like you care about your viewers and give them want they want (maybe give Gervais a call?)- maybe
then your figures will crack a million.

UPDATE: Say what you like about Gervais (such as the one mindless article criticizing his newfound presence on Twitter), he interacts with his fans like no one else- and thanks to this fact, someone pointed out to him that it is indeed season 1 not season 2 airing.

"“@steveq91: @rickygervais is it? The channel is advertising as if it's repeats of season one! #stillawesome”

Oops. Yeh season 2 soon tho"

Hopefully Gervais' statement is true, and S2 isn't too far away, but if Ten had any foresight, they could have easily replayed Season 1 a month or two ago, so that they could fast-track Season 2. Oh sorry, Ten, let me clarify

Fast-track: verb. To air a TV show a reasonable time after it has premiered in another country
