The Hour - BBC show

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012rwmc

I've missed this so am quickly catching up on iPlayer. I hear it's like Mad Men, with the premise that it's set in a BBC newsroom in 1956. It's got Dominic West from The Wire in it.

Sorry, left the Falcon in the Bentley. Right now, you answer to my Ronson T-T.

All hail Kremperpunk.

Looks awesome! Unfortunately, this is the BBC so it's "not available in your area."

Damn you, selfish British taxpayers!

Re: The Hour - BBC show

Urgh I hate that!

The next episode is tomorrow and I can get bbc two but it's listed as UK and Scotland only which is rather worrysome.  What are they going to do? Switch off the BBC 2 in Belgium for the time being?

I think I may ask Bert to download it because it does look epic smile

Re: The Hour - BBC show

I've watched up to episode 5 so far, so nearly at the end. Started a bit shaky for me but now it's really got its teeth going. Not really Mad Men-ish at all, think more on the lines of aspiring young journos vs the government.

Bert has downloaded the first four episodes for me, so I hope to find time soon to watch them smile

Re: The Hour - BBC show

Finished watching the lot - it's not great, but I have no qualms about watching it smile

EDIT: Oh, and I read that it's going to be recommissioned for next year too.
