Been watching Radhac na Ruise on TG4.  Exploring how similar we are to the russians.  Very interesting.

TV show called 14days on BBCNI now, good show about a period in the troubles and a story that has largely gone untold.

Watched it earlier today. Disturbing stuff..mind it very well.

Thanks for the tip. I've just watched it this morning and it seemed to give (to me) a pretty well balanced view of those "eventful" days. I well remember sitting over here and thinking wtf is happening. Fr Reid came across very well and you could feel the esteem that was felt for him by his "peers"

You're right about the untold story, but I suppose the "truth" of what happened will always depend on who's telling the tale.

Questions that shouldn't be asked shouldn't be answered

The Challenger on BBC2 is good stuff so far.

I Claudius is being repeated on BBC Four on Tuesday nights.  Excellent.

Indeed, have it taped . Really looking forward to it. Read the book many years ago.

Also, The Boss starts on Thursday night with Kelsey Grammer (sic) as a mayor of Chicago. Think it is on More 4 but not sure. Hope it is as good as suggested.

The Office Series 1 is repeated on Gold n Monday nights. I have watched it many times but it still never fails to make me laugh.

There was a pretty good episode of GAA Beo on Sunday. Beautifully paced ending to boot.

It got the boot after season two. Worth bearing in mind if it would annoy you to watch a show that leaves behind a pile of loose ends. Decent show otherwise.

Thanks for the heads up.
Another Carnivále type ending to a show I suppose.

Finished  Secret State with Gabriel Byrne last night. Not a bad mini series and enjoyed it. Still think it was not as good as the Ray McAnally version which was brilliant.
After watching it and Borgen I wonder why anyone wants to ever be a Prime Minister. Just plain hassle all the time.

Finished season 4 of Breaking Bad, it's some show. The last shot of season 4 confirms Walt has turned over to the dark side.

It hasn't confirmed anything - it leads you to believe he might have. Part of the cliffhanger!

finishing up season 2 of walking dead here this weekend and finished season 4 of SoA earlier in feb.
Some shows i fairness.

Watched a 4 part Britsh drama the other day on Netflix, One night. Set around four characters based on one night were two people end up getting assulted. Very good show
