[belboid]

It's gonna get crap viewing figures cos we've all downloaded/bought it already, haven't we?

(not really a story, but we haven't had a new Wire thread for days)

 

[Vintage Paw]

I'm going to watch it.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Outside of Urban, I know relativley few people who know it.

I reckon it will do quite well.

 

[Vintage Paw]

What does this mean?

All 60 episodes across the show's five seasons will be shown stripped across the week. Transmission dates have yet to be announced.

All 60 eps in one week?

 

[danny la rouge]

we've all downloaded/bought it already, haven't we?

Nope.

I'll give it a go, since you lot go on about it.

 

[marty21]

i'll watch it again, even though i have already watched it on dvd

 

[marty21]

Nope.

I'll give it a go, since you lot go on about it.

i told you it would go to the beeb

 

[DotCommunist]

massively behind the trend again beeb. Still it will hook a few in and I'll be able to tell recent converts that I watched the lot AGES ago and thus confirm my position as the finger on the pulse of the zietgiest

 

[danny la rouge]

i told you it would go to the beeb

You did.

It's got Lovejoy in it, right?

 

[Dillinger4]

I am going to watch it as well.

 

[electrogirl]

I have never seen it. I will watch.

 

[DotCommunist]

Hopefully they don't stick it on at stupid o'clock like 1 or 2 am.

 

[marty21]

You did.

It's got Lovejoy in it, right?

definitely, he's in it, and Morecombe and Wise, Cannon and Ball, and Mike Yarwood


it's a laughfest

 

[Melinda]

What does this mean?

That's got me shrugging too.

Ive never watched the wire on a weekly episodic format. Does it work that way?

I hate recaps at the beginning of shows.

They could have saved money by just having Yarwood.

How did you watch it? I done it 2-3 episodes per night. Film stylie.

I've never seen it, and know plenty of people who've never watched it...

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

i'll probably try and have a watch to see what all the fuss is.

 

[Melinda]

Same.

 

[marty21]

he does provide a narrative spine to it

 

[danny la rouge]

Nobody I know in meatspace has seen it.

 

[Diamond]

I wonder if the Beeb will be brave enough to put it on at 9. Knowing bbc2's form it's far more likely that they'll slot it in at 11.20 after newsnight.

In which case, I'll still not see it.

Och well.

 

[Griff]

I might give it a go to see what all the fuss is about an' all.

 

[Melinda]

I cant help thinking this show will be relegated to the Seinfeld/ Mad Men slot.

The language, the subject matter, the largely black cast... its all going to alienate the fuck out of a BBC audience.

yup.

 

[ringo]

Reckon it'll be good to see it again, probably pick a few extra things up this time.

 

[kained&able]

will they censor it as well? bet they do a bit.

It always shocks and annoys me when people havent seen the wire.


I couldn't watch it weekly i can't watch any drama series weekly i want to know things too much.
