So if you haven't seen it and don't want/can't afford to buy the box sets, here is your chance to catch it. I really doubt it will ever be bettered as a drama series. (BTW I notice the legendary Omar pops up in Gone Baby Gone.)

TG4 from 28th.

Have gotten into this through living with the girlfriend, not a bad show at all if you can get over the ridiculous medical conditions their patients seem to have every episode and the obvious storyline rip offs from Scrubs that pop up every now and again.

I would even go so far and say I have a favourite character in Preston Burke

Agree 110%, fantastic series, really well shot and great acting (esp. when most of the cast were unknown)... A great mini-series

Oz is great, horrific in it's violence - almost too disgusting to watch at times - but compelling viewing for it's drama. One thing's for sure, I'd do what Ken Lay did at the prospect of spending federal time in the US if Oz is anything to go by.

In fact most documentaries have me riveted.

I saw that too, I can't remember the guy's name, but it was tragic viewing, espcially when he was camcordering the break down of his marridge and his relationship with his children. Heart warming at the end when he was giving the colledge speech at the end telling everyone of the dangers of addiction but that no matter how low you go, it's never too late to turn it around.

First episode of The Wire up to the usual standard. The opening sequence was very funny.

I think it's probably nearly over, but really enjoying The Visit on BBC1. Managed to miss it on BBC3...

Yeah, a little cracker. Came across it a while back on BBC3. Definitely in the Royal Family/Early Doors vein

**John83** · 04/09/2008, 5:17 PM

Anyone ever seen any of The Venture Brothers?

**bennocelt** · 04/09/2008, 6:55 PM

Anyone see "A Dander with Drennan" on BBC2 on the weekends, sorry i cant remeber what night its on, but jeez its just plain weird
its about Ulster Scots culture, and this guy Drennan (who is clearly as mad as a hatter) wandering all over Antrim and the like meeting the other irish we dont talk about!!
Its very good, if you can decipher what the hell they are talking about
