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!

      GALA 2026

      So that suggests the consultations with 'community' are just a tick box exercise where information given cannot be relied on. Not a good look. I hope Renata Hamvas who is the local councillor, as well as licensing, finds a way to stop the wholesale, spreadingmonetisation of an important green space in summer. If they get this it'll end up like Brockwell Park before you know it.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      I’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Angelina · Posted

      Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is?
