could you really not wait until Sept 22 (that's the day the DVD of Season 5 is released in the UK). Made the mistake of ordering a dodgy pirate copy of the final season of the Sopranos because I couldn't wait. Quality was ok as far as it goes but it wasn't the same.. Man's gotta have a code. You feel me ?

I hear ya bon3yard, but there are other series to watch in the mean time... I am currently very much enjoying Deadwood series 2, and the remainder of the series, plus series 3 (final series) should take me nicely up to Wire series 5 landing on the doormat... Other recommendations if you haven't seen them would include Sopranos (obviously) and Rome (bloody great IMO).

In HMV recently I got all 3 series of The Royale Family, plus the special they did last year for ?15. Mrs Keef and I have been laughing lots rewatching those, especially any scene with nanna in!


I really liked Rome, which reminds me, has onyone watched The House of Saddam over the last couple of weeks? It's another HBO/BBC project, and it's been okay. Doesn't paint him in a sympathetic light, but does make you think about some of the decisions he had to make over the years.

Season 5 is moving towards a tense finale, methinks. Without giving anything away, it can be quite uncomfortable viewing at times, knowing that something must give way (edited out of courtesy after Mockney's post, but must stress it was not a spoiler!)


I've only got 2 episodes left and then no more wire for me:'(


What can possibly fill the void?


I guess I'll have to start at season 1 again.

Damn it, I ordered the UK version so still have a month to wait. That said, I'll be enjoying it whilst you're missing it. HA HA!


We actually watched the first ever episode again the other night. Was quite cool to watch it again knowing what we now know.


Tillie Trotter has expressed an interest too, so going to see if I can get her hooked... I feel like a pusher!

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Pugwash · Posted

      One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
