Looks great. Too bad I don't have digital cable. I had it and I had the BBC2 channel. New Year's Resolution #4 Get this on cable or wait for the DVD.
Gorath,I know you must had known some English expats in Florida. If they got BBC2 on a dish ask them. I on the other hand will wait for either DVD,PBS,or BBC America.
i knew a few before I moved out of Ft. Lauderdale(they were all over the place). I doubt I would be able to find them. So, I'll just get the DVD.
If you're down in Dade, check out Churchill's on NE 2nd Ave or the Playwright on the beach. They both show British tv, football and the like.
My brother has satellite television. I will be watching it when it comes on. I prefer digital cable though. But, this is what the building association wants every resident to have.
This has to be one of the more perplexing UK-based series I've seen in a minute. I really liked the scenery and the sense this could be true, but that's about it. The acting ranged from decent to terrible, and the plot... omg the plot is loopy as fuck. I just finished watching the sixth 'special' episode. If you have any idea what's going on by the end of this, please, enlighten me.
G,I thought you would had gone to one of those English pubs in Florida to see it on UK tv. Had they got that network on satillite? I saw the schedule and I plan to get the box set when it gets released in a few months.
When I get back on my feet, I will buy the DVD set. I had seen one show. It reminded me a little of the film Velvet Goldmine, but with a straight and black twist.
Dave, the British ex-pat owner, just announced he's found a buyer for the bar. If the deal goes through, hopefully the owner will keep it as a venue for English football and alternative music and jazz. If not, it's the Playwright or somewhere else.
