I just discovered that you can podcast Prime Minister's Questions. Or watch them online.

Way back in the day when Margaret Thatcher was PM, when I was in middle school, I used to watch Prime Minister's Question Time on C-SPAN. Somehow, I got my friends hooked on it. We treated it like a spectator sport. Some of us were pro-Labor, others pro-Tory. I remember spending at least one lunch break discussing the poll tax. I had a strange sort of political crush on Neil Kinnock, who was the opposition leader at the time. (Hey, he was an unabashed leftist and Welsh.)

Somehow I doubt that Gordon Brown and whoever-the-opposition-leader-is can provide the kind of quality political theater that Thatcher and Kinnock could dish out, but I'm going to have to have a listen just for old time's sake.
