Just finished season three of the west wing. Gripped.  Every spare moment is taken up with it.

Alias planned on watching that but then never got round it - just too many series! Started House of Cards recently. Great stuff so far.

Anyone seen or watching The Intruders? Started on BBC2 last night I think it has aired on BBC America already.

First 5 series are all you need to see... goes down hill big time after that but still the best about IMHO

Have you seen the original BBBC production? Does this one compare favourably with it?
Questions that shouldn't be asked shouldn't be answered

I have never seen the original, but would definitely recommend this one, its rating on IMDb is 9.1

Fell upon a programme yesterday on RTE I think called Murray About or something like that. Basically some guy wandering around chatting to people he meets. Surprisingly very good. He asked some very hard questions of some people wandering around Islandbridge/ Phoenix Park and got some very good replies imo.

Conversations ranged from dogs being killed by a car, the poor standards of bar staff nowadays, caring for adult children with disabilites etc.

Serious TV. Shocking and unpredictable. Fair play to Love/hate, says a lot about it that despite been a hateful bastard, you wanted him to make in the last scene.

As for Fran  :-[

ONeill

That was the ending I hoped for.

Apart from Janet.

I feel sorry for Nadine, just when she got a decent job. ( great scene with her, Aido and Nidge)

And what about Terrances loan? Did Nidge have a life policy as part of the terms? Does the loan die with him like a credit union loan? Is Trisha liable?

So many questions.....
