Sean you are a bad person, because of you my credit card has just taken a flogging!!!


I shall soon be the proud owner of Wire series 1,2 and 4 (I already have 3) and the bloody soundtrack!!!!!!! I only went on there to see how much series 4 cost.


Last time I went on there to by a book (as discussed somewhere else), and ended up spending about ?250. I even cut up the credit card, but Amazon has the details stored, it's just too easy and I have exactly NO self control!

Tonight I shall most likely be watching the last 2 episodes of series 4... I can't believe I now have to wait God knows how long for series 5!!!!!


It really is bloody good, and with all that happened in series 3, I wondered if it would get a bit crap, but I love series 4, the whole education thing has been great, if rather depressing!

First time I've noticed this thread. Love The Wire, love it...I managed to pick up a fairly good copy of series 4 months ago and scoffed it all in a weekend. I need more.

I spotted Idris Elba in Ridley Scotts American Gangster the other day too, that guy deserves all the acting jobs he can get his hands on.

For those of you new to The Wire and wondering what all the fuss is about check out the estimable Charlie Brookers review of the show a www.youtube.co.uk/charliebrooker/the wire

Don't know the actors name, but Stringer Bell turned up in that First female detective agency thing on BBC a couple of weeks ago. Also, I didn't realise that Stringer is actually a Hackney boy! Apparently when people approach him and he opens his mouth they feel cheated until he puts on the Stringer accent! On a similar thread, I was watching the bonus features on Series 4, and McNaulty has got a proper posh boy English accent! Can't believe he went to Eaton. Series 4 bloody brilliant by the way, except the death of one of my favourite characters near the end!
Myself and Mr cEDric are waiting to watch Season 5, having decided with great difficulty to resist the temptation to watch a poor quality download. At the weekend, a friend inadvertently let slip a MAJOR spoiler about the 5th season, which she has now watched. We had done so so well avoiding spoilers and we're now cursing our decision to wait. So be careful folks!

i'll happily start you off on Series 2, but it was a faulty box set - two copies of disc 3 (I think it was 3) but at least it would get you going while you were waiting for keef's

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
