Ooh, I'd forgetten just how bad that theme music is! (normally I'm at work when
the show's on)

It's a very cool effect, though it's not much like watching a TV in the dark
since TV's don't cast sharp images. If you draw the texture high ambience, and
then rendered the whole scene with radiosity you'll get more of a TV effect, as
well as a really slow render time.

Still a very impressive technique. I like it :)
