Germans Love David Hasselhoff: He's well known in his native U.S.A., but in the past few years he's gained quite the following in his adopted home in the U.K. too, to the point where he now has a regular series on BBC Radio 4. note Radio 4 is the country's primary literary/drama/sitcom radio channel, 1-3 being more focused on music, news, and sport. Despite the decline of the popularity of radio in the U.K., it's still a pretty big deal to have a long-running show in an early-evening time-slot that premieres on the main channel rather than its sister channel.
Harsher in Hindsight: Try reading anything he's ever written about Tiffany, especially "Put a Lid On It," after reading "Now We Are Five."
