I hope they don't mess with it............ -- andypandy, 18:12:32 03/12/09 Thu [1] (82.30.76.72)
and show it as its meant to be shown without any cuts, its hard enough to follow sometimes but if they miss out some of the rougher scenes and dialogue it will take away what's brilliant about it, saying that I'm thrilled the BBC have aquired it, at least there won't be any ad breaks to contend with.

I'm thinking they'll show it after the 9pm watershed -- DZR, 18:56:09 03/12/09 Thu [1] (62.240.244.114)
I'm not sure if I understood the article correctly or not, but it sounded to me like they were planning on showing it marathon style, with an episode every evening. I think there are 60 episodes, so 5 episodes a week, Monday to Friday, with catchup repeats late Saturday and Sunday night and they've got nearly 3 months of super high quality material. That's quite a feather in the cap for the Beeb.

No transmission date yet......... -- andypandy, 19:11:26 03/12/09 Thu [1] (82.30.76.72)
I have the first three seasons on dvd so I'm not too bothered, I'll set my cable box to record seasons four and five just in case I miss some, I wonder when they will be showing it?
For all the flak the Beeb get they do occasionally get it right don't they? if only they were more consistent I might not resent paying my licence fee!

We're watching it in spite of you, not because -- RJA, 21:40:08 03/12/09 Thu [1] (82.28.217.169)
Actually halfway through season 1 already and enjoying it muchly. It's been HBO central around here following our Rome marathon.

Heh. Thanks. -- DZR, 22:16:10 03/12/09 Thu [1] (83.152.246.19)
Ah, fantastic that you're also watching. I am very much looking forward to conversations about Marlo, Omar, Bubbles and McNulty.
Rome was incredible, wasn't it? I must buy it on DVD. I'd really like to watch it again one day.
I've also nearly finished Deadwood, another HBO series, which I highly recommend.
I wish you'd post more often.

My new year's resolution is to post more -- RJA, 22:29:00 03/12/09 Thu [1] (82.28.217.169)
So three times in two days is more than living up to it.
Actually only half way through Rome, but I am due the second season for my birthday next week, so looking forward to that.
Omar has just been introduced to us, but already there are a number of great characters. And unusually for an HBO show it's less heavy on the sex and violence, despite the potential for it.
