Sean and Keef, did either of you ever see Lonesome Dove?


Really, really good cowboy drama shown over a few episodes. I'm not particularly into wild westy type stuff as such, but this was so well put together and well acted (Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duvall, Chris Cooper, Anjelica Huston..). I really recommend it if you haven't, they show it every so often on TV.

you will be a busy boy Keef


we watched the penultimate episode last night - contender for best episode ever. And now all that remains is the 2 hour finale tonight


I'm devestated - not about a programme finishing - but by the lessons learnt from the whole thing. It's amazing how so many of the debates that have happend on this forum have echoes in the show and how the answers are clarly nowhere near as simplistic as those espoused.

4 is wicked! Wasn't sure where it would go after 3, but it may well be my favourite series. Can't bring myself to do the whole sopranos thing again, love it, but there's just too much of it! We've been rewatching I Claudius, which is hilarious having watched Rome quite recently. By happy coincidence though, it does basically take up the tale right where Rome leaves it.

The Wire is a pretty big commitment of time, but Spaced is just 2 short series and is an absolute must see, packed full of cultural references (mostly zombie films and star wars to be fair) and some great great comedy quotes.

It's by the Sean of the Dead / Hot Fuzz people.

Mrs *Bob* is the one who (after much arm-twisting) agrees to watch I film I love (which she's never seen) and then about twenty minutes in says "oh.. I have seen this one".


I fear that trying to schedule-in several series of 'The Wire' might be the end of us.


We have Spaced on DVD somewhere (lazy Christmas present from someone or other) so will no doubt try tick that box when we get around to it etc

    • Please bring this to Dulwich Village - we only have cafés and chain stores and could really do with some retail dynamism ! There's so much disposable income in the area, but so few good options to spend it.

    • That's absolutely disgusting. If it's true they should have closed the shop until it was fixed.
    • I have read conflicting accounts, some say the Peckham Rye pond chelonians are fresh water turtles others that they are red-eared terrapins. As well as terrapins, there are reports of Musk Turtles, a non native, fresh water turtle species also being released into the wild. They are also better equipped to survive our winters and do not seem to need to bask as much as terrapins. Perhaps we have both. I have not been able to see them close enough to observe markings.
