Husband loved The Fall - (and Gillian Anderson who stars in it):

"The psychological thriller examines the lives of two hunters -- one is a serial killer who preys on victims in and around Belfast, Northern Ireland, and the other is a female detective drafted from the London Metropolitan Police to catch him. The local authorities have no suspects and no experience with cases involving sexually motivated serial killers; DSI Stella Gibson has. She heads a task force dedicated to solving the crime spree, with a simple motto: Anyone not part of the solution is part of the problem. The killer? He's Paul Spector, a father and a husband leading a double life, as viewers learn from the outset. He's hiding in plain sight, the protagonist in a cat and mouse game that is every police officer's worst nightmare."

A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

Finally got round to getting The Wire last year on dvd. Booked a week off work and binged it hard.

Have just bought The Corner on dvd which is the prequel and focuses on a younger De-Andre and his family.

Unlike The Wire it's a short miniseries, about six & half hours so that'll be burned through tomorrow.

The Corner is quite heartbreaking. It adds another dimension to the usual drug problem dramas.

The sound on SKY is scandalously poor. Amazon and Netflix are far better through a stick and a disc far superior. Bloody SKY Q box is a nightmare with my Denon AVR.

I once met Adam Faith when he was in that.

I like a bit of old TV but it does make you realise how good new TV is.

Recently I have been watching a bit of Starsky and Hutch which I can only describe as entertainingly dreadful.

I read the book years ago so vaguely remember it being mainly based around the parents and their habit.

A decent box set makes up for lack of exciting football at this time of year.
