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.

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.

Person of Interest is very good

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

Has anyone been watching Broadchurch on UTV? Three episodes in now, but fantastic Monday night television. A murder mystery.

Yep, really good show. Most of these sort of shows you can tell from quite early on "whodunnit".
I've genuinely no clue in this one. Could be any one of 5-6 people.

The Untold History of the US since 1940 on Sky Atlantic from 17th April. Narrated and produced by Oliver Stone with accompanying book. Sound intersting.

Is it true that the USSR had started to invade Japan before the Atomic bombs were dropped?

Haha, like that. Its a good show but you do find it fustrating at times with the filler and lack of zombies. Roll on World War Z for my zombie fill!

Liked the first episode of Revolution, bit to go yet and I fear another Flash Forward and The Event.

The season finale banjaxed the last bit of that. The first eight were fantastic but the back half of the season was too stretched out and uneven. The only good thing to come of the season finale is that Andrea's ****** and ****** because the writers were completely unable to make her anything more than an extremely annoying character.

Game of Thrones, now there's a show that gets consistency down to an art form. Great to have it back and it almost makes you want to venture north. Any GAABoarders appearing as extras?

Oh, and it surely has to have the very best titles in the history of television, right?

To be fair I tried to find a spoiler tag in the mess of formatting icons to no avail. I'll switch it to asterisks but I doubt many care too much about her story.
