that's true - not sure it's actually possible. We can get it on Netflix, but are after something we can watch without needing data so can save to hard drive. My daughter doen't have internet when she's away.


Not that I object to paying but ?2.50 an episode would cost a small fortune!

Legally, you have to pay for shows, so that the royalties go to the people who work on the show.


However, it may be worth seeing if those shows are on YouTube. There are plenty of YouTube downloaders which will allow you to save YouTube clips to your hard drive. If not, you may find them as torrents. Google 'Torrent' to see how to get started.

Just a reminder that downloading torrents are illegal. Most of the time, if you are doing a "free" download of a recent tv series, you are doing it illegally and hence committing a crime. Your IP address (unless you are on a well encrypted VPN service) will be easily associated with the various torrents and things you download.


This may not be what you want, but just a friendly reminder that this is how business models around digital video distribution works these days.

Torrents are very trackable - your IP address is easily seen by rights holders and they are looking more and more to find people to take to court to make an example of. You can get around this with a VPN, but that will cost you. But then, as Steve said, there is a lot of malware out there on the torrents.


The box set of seasons 1-5 is available in the UK.

As someone who works in the film industry, I find this infuriating. Downloading content without paying is the type of practice that puts people out of work. It is also commonly known as stealing.

The series is available on iTunes, Netflix and the DVD is available to purchase.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
