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!

      Will Starmer join Mandelson in the toast rack?

      By Spartacus · Posted

      One of the issues is that under this government, the so called black hole of £20 billion has, according to some, risen to £50 billion. Which will result in even more taxes. I was always taught to cut my coat according to my cloth, which would in an ideal world mean having to halt or stop projects or services until the deficit is down to a manageable level. Increasing taxes has a limit (the Laffer Curve https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_curve)  and also damages the economy and the publics ability to spend.  If Labour want to turn things around they are going to have to face some uncomfortable decisions on where to cut their ambition.

      Will Starmer join Mandelson in the toast rack?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      "Country before Party" is Starmer's motto. Lucy Powell, Burnham and other senior cabinet ministers briefing against Starmer, describing the situation as 'terminal', and publicly condemning him is not putting the country first. They'll be no better than the Tories if they enforce on us a new PM and the political dissatisfaction of the electorate will explode.  Labour needs to get its house in order, but there are too many factions and, just like the Tories at the end, it doesn't know what it is anymore. I think the situation is unsolvable.

      Do air purifiers work?

      I saw that too but it was already sold unfortunately -  so if anyone else has one they’re not using I’m still interested! Thanks!
