Universal HD is showing Dayofthe Jackal...but we're pretty sure most would be happier if it had the season premiere of Battlestar Galactica in high definition instead.

Leading the protest were West, who starred in films including Cry Freedom and TheDayoftheJackal, and his wife, who played Sybil in the comedy series Fawlty Towers.
