Theresa May plagiarised the West Wing in her speech today...

Rewatched a couple of the earlier series over the summer. Awesome show even after so many years. Acting and scripting was top notch. Definitely in my Top 5 boxsets ever.

Basically it's great up until Rob Lowe and Sorkin left. Have watched it a good few times and the dip in quality is very noticeable.

I doubt you'll have many arguments there. Having said that without Sorkin it was still better than half the stuff that's out there today!!

I watched it again last year and realised it was only the second time I'd watched seasons 5, 6 and 7. Will and Kate are awful and the rubbish about Leo going to Cuba etc makes me cringe. They ruined Toby too. There's no way he'd have betrayed Jed like that.

That said, the campaign is great and Santos and especially Vinick are brilliant characters.

Is the West Wing readily available for a lazy bastard like me as I have the box set and fancy watching it without the hassle of hoking DVDs. File under First World Problems.

If you know how to use Kodi or how to access US Netflix it's all there.

Will check Kodi. I think I watched the first 3 or 4 series and then knocked it on the head so might start again.

I'm still trying to get past season 1. But slow or something for me. Going to try get through it at some stage though. Watching Queen of the South on Netflix. It's ok just but I've f**k all else to watch now.

Anyone look at the new incarnation of Porridge tonight on the Beeb? Porridge was on of the all time great shows and Fletcher one of the great characters..

3rd series of BBC sitcom Josh started last night. An unappreciated gem, consistently funny.

Speaking of Sorkin,
I really enjoyed The Newsroom.
Its a pity they didn't make more series of it.
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

Didn't look great by the 10 minutes I saw of it. Yer man was trying too hard to be exactly like Fletcher with the facial expressions and so forth.

The original was sublime comedy.

Have not seen The Newsroom but you reminded me of another favourite of mine of the early nineties, Drop the Dead Donkey. Brilliant show that never got the recognition it deserved. Something I would have thought could be reincarnated relatively easily as it is based on current events. The writers would have a field day with Trump!
