"Did you see a television anywhere in our home?" Klaus asks. There are a few - one in the sitting room, but it's hidden inside a cabinet, and one in Rebekkah's bedroom, but he sees no reason why Caroline would ever have been there. There are probably other sets, but honestly, he doesn't remember, much as he bought them, because he hardly ever watches telly. It used to be a new thing, but it became an old thing much too quickly. "I think the last - and only," he adds after a second's thought, "series I watched from start to finish was the Prisoner."

He might have seen bits and pieces of reality shows, but he never stopped to watch more than ten seconds. He has better things to do with his life.
