BUMPED UP: Will BBC America finally air “The Lodger” tonight? The suspense is killing me! Stupid BBC America: Now the BBC America site says that ”The Lodger” will air next Saturday, July 10. I did think it was odd that they’d have a new episode over a holiday weekend, which is why I checked the … more…
