The Wire

[SeanMacGabhann]

Wednesday darling, Wednesay....

[david_carnell]

Ahhh, marvellous.

There I was worried I'd been forgotten about!

[Keef]

If not you can have mine when Jah is finished with it.

[Jah Lush]

Halfway through at the moment Keef. By the way I must let you borrow that I Spaced Boxset.

[citizenED]

Still not on board the Wire bandwagon, How much commission are you guys on?

[mockney piers]

Clearly none, I'll bid you for ?5.

Ooh, 5555 posts!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

gotta love that faux-surprise there....

[mockney piers]

pshaw, curiosity just took the better of me (the was actually 5557, but doesn't sounds as good), that puts me in a paltry third with Jah Lush fast catching!

[Jah Lush]

Shii-eet! I hadn't realised I gone past the 4,000 mark. Still, no one even gets near Keef.

[Keef]

Innit! Noone is in as much danger of the sack either!

[SeanMacGabhann]

How about this for a Wire-fest? All of Series 5 shown on a cinema screen over 2 days, with appearances from several cast and writers

Wire Weekend

Just 3 or 4 episodes ever left for me after watching 3 eps of series 5 yesterday

[david_carnell]

That's a brutal weekender Sean. 10 hours in two days plus all the other bumf....if I can watch series 4 first I may well be tempted.

[Moos]

Arkk.

Agog with curiosity to take in the Wire, with great feedback from such diverse sources as my mum, and you lot, I bought and gave away Series 1 to friends who've just had a baby without so much as taking off the plastic cover. Selfless or stoopid? you decide.

I'm 3rd in SeanMac's list of 3... so if anyone with a kind heart and a spare copy of Series 1 wishes to get me off the waiting lists, I'd be supersupergrateful.

[Keef]

Moss, what's mine is yours darling! Have it here waiting to be watched.

[Jah Lush]

Just finished series four. On the way back to you Keef.

[jumpinjackflash]

My partner just bought series 1,2,3 and 4 all on DVD. If it's as gripping as 24, then we'll be done watching them all by next week!

[SeanMacGabhann]

it's not as immediate as 24 - but 10 times better

[Moos]

Oh Keef you're an angel, thanks!

[Moos]

Keef, I meant to say, can I lend you a series of the West Wing in exchange? If by some remote chance you haven't seen 1, 3 or 4 they're fab!

[Phil]

If anyone is kind enough to lend me series 1, that would be fantastic....I need to see what all the hype is about. I do have 4 series of the Sopranos to lend in exchange ??

[Keef]

Moos, may well be up for that at some stage, but have a cuple of things to watch first. A friend recommended Weeds, about a widow who starts dealing to ease her financial worries >:D

[Keef]

Finished Deadwood series 3 last night, bloody good series.

Only thing about series like that, (and the wire I guess) is that they are about real life (be it now or during the goldrush), so the story never really ends as such, and you always wish you could go back and revisit to see what's going on.

Gagging to get in to Wire 5 now, but at the same time, don't want to have no more wire. Saw poor Sean last week, and he looked so scared about the future knowing he only had 3 episodes left of wire! ;-)

Mrs Keef and I are going to watch I Claudius for a bit of a retro laugh, then on to Weeds, I'll let you know what we think, our friend highly recommends it, but he does like some shite (as well as some quality like the wire and deadwood).

[SeanMacGabhann]

I've got series 3 of Deadwood waiting for me at home - can't wait. Only thing is... Lady Mac doesn't like it at all so I have to "find the right time" to watch it properly

Have people watched Six Feet Under? Loved that but missed the final series

Oh and it's Wire night tonight- another episode on FX - that leaves just 2 I think...

[Keef]

Mrs Keef liked Deadwood a lot, but she did make a very good point that it was really quite claustraphobic. All based in and around 3 or 4 (very good) sets. You did kind of long for them to go out in to the country a bit.

[SeanMacGabhann]

but look what happened when they DID!!!!
