"LWT" conjures up something entirely different in UK TV, where it was the weekend franchise for ITV in the London area (Yup - we had two franchisees who shared the week in the London region, one getting Monday - 5.15pm Friday, and the other getting the rest).

Getting back on topic, I look forward to catching *the other* LWT on Sky Atlantic this evening when we get it here.
