Yes it is.

Series is both a singular and a plural form. When it has the singular sense of “one set,” it takes a singular verb, even when series is followed by of and a plural noun: A series of lectures is scheduled. When it has the plural sense of “two or more sets,” it takes a plural verb: Two series of lectures are scheduled: one for experts and one for laypeople.

Copied that from dictionary.com, because I'm lazy.

By the way, do I remember that you have a Foster's beer fridge? Where did you get it?

Aside from the wonderful advice being plagiarized from the Cambridge Dictionary, I must officially tsk at this:

Now surely there is a screen grab of you in the audience of (one of many) TV shows? I tell people I only spend this much time on the web because you are all famous, (or infamous in the case of JM).

Eeek. The cartoon is perhaps preferable.

No offence, mind.

Is it not in breach of the avatar rules anyway?

Perhaps it's time for a new picture as the last one from Mark was, IIRC, him in drag holding a bottle of detergent.
Leave off - it's Marks trademark.

...addmittedly I did steal it for a while back on TVF, but that's not the point ;)

Impressive indeed. But no internal light, I notice. And Fosters tastes of wee. Although you could always put something else in it. I realy am nitpicking here. I'm deeply envious, you see.
