'Brody' has signed up on a massive contract for series 3,4, and 5! How on earth the plot can last that long I have no idea?!?


However, excellent tips on Damages having extra series....loved 1 and 2.


Other guilty box-set pleasures have been 'The Unit', think Desperate Houswewives meet SAS action.

Hmmm....now I love DH so might just have to check out 'The Unit'.


Whilst t'other side of the pond is producing some great writing, it's sad to see Uk screenwriting descend into ham. The new fashion seems to be period drama soap opera (Downton and The Paradise spring to mind). Lark Rise to Candleford has much to answer for.

Loving Homeland too but have to say didn't go with the bit where Brody was taking the tailor to the safe house and ended up killing him. Surely, if Brody was about to speak at some glamorous political fund raiser the terrorists could have found someone else to deal with the tailor. Also the tailor falling on the spike in the wood - of all the spikes in all the woods. I thought for a minute they were going to run into the Walking Dead Zombies (fab too).


Am I too involved?


Oh and is the new surveillance guy (brought in to oversee last wk's Brody following and capture) a goody or a bady?


Good to see a smattering of fab British actors with lead roles in both dramas - once I've got over their accents.

Having watched the season finale on beeb 3 this week you could do worse than watch Lilyhammer.

A one dimensional send-up of The Sopranos it may have been, but it had a good script and a whole host of fine comic turns.


Steven Van Zandt provided much of the comedy in the sopranos, and hones Silvios character to comedy perfection here, but the supporting cast are absolutely impeccable most notably Trond Aurv?g (yeah, I had to look it up) as his hapless but earnest sidekick who would steal every scene he was in.


Daft as it was it was an absolute joy.

    • Well I don’t approve for a shop doing the same food to open so near - just wrong in my opinion. Why not go to the village, Peckham - foot fall would be great in Peckham and certainly more multi  cultural than ED. Village has money but doubt foot fall would be as good as ED.  At least they could have gone to the stretch leading up to Peckham Rye or why not bottom of Barry Road?? Or even North Cross Road I for one, on principal won’t be going in.
    • Heh yeah haven't even bothered to remove the emdash. The OP is AI slop as well.
    • The street directory is on Ancestry and you'll need a subscription to access.  It's reasonably easy to navigate though you have to find the page you're looking for by a combination of trial and error/guesswork.  https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/61265/images/47056_263021009499_1592-00159?usePUB=true&_phsrc=Soz1793 There is though also a general search page for London directories where the street name can be entered in the keyword field and results will take you to the specific pages. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61265/
