The telly out here in Asia's appalling, so mostly we watch boxsets.


I've been on Amazon, refilling the coffers and snapped up The Wire, Peep Show, Silent Witness 1, Flight of the Conchords and Prime Suspect 7.


We're through the BBC's (rather limited) collection.


What else should we be getting our teeth into? Stuff from ITV / Ch.4 / Ch. 5 and Sky?

Carnival (US) - About two opposing forces (one good and one evil) set in the last great recession with stunning visuals, great characters and an intriguing plot... won't say any more but I sat and watched the whole of Season 1 in a weekend then went out and got season 2 (final) to do the same !!!

That Sing and Sign thing's a bit highbrow for me.


The Shield and Carnival both look groovy. Curb your Enthisasm's a brilliant idea. Dexter's intriguing... Does Oz have any good looking ladies in it? Not that I'm shallow of course.


Isn't Deadwood a Western with Lovejoy? Always had this downer on Westerns since beeing forced to watch them at the age of thirteen on Saturday afternoons by my best mate.

OZ barely as any women in it at all. I can only think of 2 off the top of my head - but it is set in a maximum security prison for men!


I'm from the same place as you re: westerns. But Deadwood changed that completely - you can practically smell the place and the way it deals with the formation of the federal US is very pertinent today (lots of libertarians complaining about government interference for a start)


And if you think Lovejoy is anything like his antique self, it will be a revelation!

Battlestar Galactica. S1-4 out on DVD. S5 just finished on Sky (but I haven't yet seen the final ep, so please no spoilers!). Dark, comic, epic, twisted sci-fi.

Just finished Generation Kill and thoroughly recommend it. More a Mini series really but still a good 5+ hours. Still waiting for Breaking Bad to land on DVD...heard great things about it. The Dad from Malcolm in The Middle plays an Industrial Pharmacist who is diagnosed with terminal cancer and sets about leaving his family a hefty legacy by creating and distributing Weapons grade Street drugs...a man with nothing to lose and all that. Sounds awfully hackneyed but apparently its rather good and one a few Emmys last year.

    • Was planning to come on here to ask if anyone might know which celeb/royal came through Lordship Lane yesterday - was on my way up to Spurs, on bus at the roundabout by the EDT when some whistling police cyclists pulled the traffic to the side of the road to allow a biggish range rover to shoot past, on the way up towards Dog Kennel Hill. Could only make out two, maybe middle-aged, men in the front before it passed. Mildly hysterical lady on pavement was laughing/screeching with her friend that they were desperately trying to find out who it was. Had more reason to post after this lunchtime's experience. Had just got to bus stop opposite the M&S by the station when some mini cooper thing bombed through the traffic, swerving across to cut up another car to get up the hill, before two or three police cars followed about 20 seconds behind. Said mini cooper thing then reappeared coming the other way, beeping its horn to get other cars out the way before it bombed up what I think was Elsie Road, with police cars now on both sides of the road by Maxin trying to stop traffic getting in the way/half the speeding car. Bit more than I had bargained for when I set out/want in local area! Stay careful out there folks, this place is getting scarier...
    • The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open
    • You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose. 
    • @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?
