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

    • Update May 19:  Jesus wept.  The response to starmer’s negotiations today.  Wartime  “surrender”. Multiple “gimp” references. Much media wailing! tories (and presumably reform) promising to reverse ALL of the gains   A deeply deeply stupid country  When you are this chippy, this stupid, this bitter ”feels like we never left” yes sweetie, because you being in the eu was never the reason for your problems.

    • Adam and Tam have transformed my garden from a mess of grass and weeds. They created a raised planting area down the side and around the base of a tree and shed, planted various things in it, put down anti weed matting and bark. They also dug up and reseeded the areas of grass which had been taken over by weeds and jet washed my patio. The garden now looks great and a lot bigger. Adam was easy to communicate with and he had ideas on what would work well in the space. Highly recommend his services.  
    • Highly recommend Leon for your electrical works.    We had an issue post installation of a new bathroom with the lights in the house and Leon was quick to visit and resolve the issue and bring us out of the dark!
