I held off on reading Pros fanfic for a couple of years until I could finally track the episodes down. (This was in the late '80s/early '90s, and finding Brit shows that didn't air over here was a nightmare.) And I'll never tackle a fandom until I'm familiar/comfortable with the canon, and have read a heck of a lot of fic in the fandom.
Alas, that definitely seems to be an attitude whose time is fading, in some areas of fandom, anyway.
I think not being able to tell Sam from Gene is actually worse that not being able to tell Bodie from Doyle. Marginally, anyway.
