Well these are the US episodes (we don't get different credits), so they dropped it after the same number of eps in the US. This ep was shown on Oct 12.
I turned tonight's episode off just after Sheldon had finished interviewing potential room-mates - it was pretty terrible. I've actually seen next week's as well and it's worse ..

I couldn't actually remember whether or not I saw last night's episode, but your comment reminded me that I did. I then promptly forgot all about it.
Reading the summaries of the repeats on E4, I can't help remembering how much better the series 4 episodes they're currently showing were than this and the previous series'.
My Sky+ is stressing me out. I watched last nights recording and it showed the Mexico episode. Do E4 play last weeks new one before the actual new one and my box is recording the wrong episode?

I agree, the early days of this were so much funnier. I can appreciate it's difficult to keep a sitcom fresh after so long, but the quality of this, for me at least, has almost fallen off the edge of a cliff it's gone downhill that quickly.

Yes, they show last week's at 8 pm and the new one at 8.30 pm on Thursdays.
The new one is repeated on E4 Sunday 9 pm and Tuesday 8.30 pm each week - and, of course, at 8pm on Thursday just before the new one. So you get four chances to watch it.
I'm still loving it, especially the way Penny understands Sheldon. I did think Raj and Howard were a bit daft.

Last week's was shown before the actual new one. Not sure what your box is doing!
It's not as good as it was but I'm still getting enough out of it.
................I'm still loving it, especially the way Penny understands Sheldon. I did think Raj and Howard were a bit daft.
Sometimes Raj and Howard's relationship is the funniest part of the show. And I always felt that Penny had far more chemistry with Sheldon than she ever did with Leonard.
Which is a bit strange really, since I think I've read that the actors playing Penny and Leonard were going out together (a euphemism, I take it) for about 4 years).
Well, Jim Parsons is gay and has a partner, so Kaley Cuoco wouldn't be with him.
Johnny Galeki ad Kaley were an item for a couple of years. but parted good friends and remain so.
In the show, so far Sheldon has been totally asexual, even with Amy. Leonard fancied Penny from the first time he saw her. Sheldon just regarded her as another human organism and a dumb one at that.
Penny has more experience of normal life than any of them so understands them all better than they understand each other - even that Howard was an oversexed disgusting person, although they've toned him down now. All of them are disfunctional apart from Penny.

Penny is just as dysfunctional as the other characters, just in a different way.
If she hadn't met Sheldon and Co she'd probably be a single mother or on drugs by now. She'd certainly be in debt and would have probably given up on acting.

That wouldn't be dysfunctional where she comes from - that would be normal. More likely to be drinking than on drugs though and living in a trailer park.
Apart from Bernadette and Emily, none of the others would be considered normal ANYWHERE.

I wish they'd kill her off! She's just a high-pitched squeaky voice (which gets higher every series) and a pair of boobs trying to escape a cardigan. I can't remember the last time she had a line that made me laugh (although the studio audience seem to think almost every line she says is hysterical Perhaps her voice is less irritating in the studio).
They need to either make her more relevant or make her a total background character who is talked about but not seen, Similar to Howards mother....However they probably can't/won't unless the actress chooses to leave, And why would she do that?
I think they probably now regret putting Howard with someone who appears, She as said has no purpose other than the girly group scenes but even they could do without her. If they had not married Howard off then after the death of his mother they could have had him meet someone off screen and have her just referred too

Isn't there something to do with the conversion from US to UK that means we get a slightly sped up version?

I agree. I know people will argue that the series had to develop but now it has doubled the cast and is now stale (in many peoples' opinions).
Saying that, I would welcome Emily as a regular as I think she is the most interesting of the females.
Raj doesn't get much air time these days though so it's a possibility that they could get together and move away. But again, why would the actor leave?
My master plan would be for Wil Wheaton to be fleeced by his accountant and be made bankrupt and he moves in with Sheldon

Did they drop it immediately in the US, or maybe a couple of weeks after?

The Howard/Raj song sub-plot this week was pure cringe, and probably not in the way the writers intended.
It's available on the website

Doesnt she speak differently 'off screen'?
Sure that behind the scenes doc had her speaking 'normally'?
