I forgot to sky+ it when FX showed it in the summer (we were at the inlaws for nearly 5 weeks :wonder:) but I've been recording it since channel 4 started airing it last month.
Sadly oh is not into anything I like to watch (crime, vampires, craft, death, Lost, horror etc) so I have a huge backlog of stuff to watch when he's asleep (I'm his carer so we're both in all day and he gets first dibs on what to watch :dull:).
Anyway, I finally sat down last night and watched all 4 episodes and was mightily impressed. Bill can bite my neck ANY day :heart:
DS (7) had seen the ads and was wanting to watch it but I'm rather glad I checked it out first as it's more than a bit rude :giggle:
Just need to catch up on Flash Forward next!
Is anyone else already hooked?

I missed it on FX too. I very nearly managed to start watching on Channel 4, but I Sky+'d the first 2 & just didn't get the chance to catch up before the 3rd one & it was starting to take up too much needed space so ended up deleting them unseen :(

I watched it on FX and really enjoyed it - yes Bill could bite my neck any day too :D
SPOILER - just in case you haven't watched it (highlight the bit below if you have) - I think they had got this far by episode 4
I had to smile though when at Sooki asked him if she was doing it right - when his technique seems to be of the 'wham bam thank you mam' variety :grin:
I really love the opening credits sequence - must be one of the best ever :up:

Ooh, that hadn't happened yet but I'm very glad to hear it's imminent!

I had to watch them before my collection got out of hand too Welly as oh was already moaning I was never going to get rid of them. He's incredibly anal about the sky+ and, just like his mother :giggle:, HAS to delete things asap. I drive him mad as I have about 40% of craft, horror films and FF/TB and the craft is on a keep :tongue:
It all came to a head this week when I had a much needed couple of days with my folks and the box glitched so it recorded 2136 mins of C&C when I only set it for an hour :headbang: I got a VERY short, terse and to the point call about that :call:

For some unknown reason hubby took it upon himself to record a very large chunk of Walking With Dinosaurs day from which ever channel it was on last Sunday. Which has filled a very large chunk of the harddrive - I was operating within the last 20-30% as it was cos of all the rest of the stuff he's bunged it up with. Now down to the last 10% & Sheena's show is 2hrs :eek: I'm gonna have to try & watch Sheena back this afternoon when the kids have disappeared cos I need room for SJA...
Maybe wouldn't be so bad but hubby's decided that he wants to transfer the Walking with Dino stuff to DVD. Which generally means it'll stay on there till he gets round to taking it down :mad:

The highlighted bit has finally happened Gill and I'm like a giggling schoolgirl 'cos I got to see his bum :blush:
I see what you meant, I'm sure he was just being gentle...for now :happy:

I gave up on TB after about 6 episodes on FX - OH carried on with it though. I just got fed up of him say "ah Sookie" in that annoying voice! Jason was my fave though, what a hilarious character.
Not far off giving up on FF if it doesn't pick up soon. Nothing's happening and I don't care about the 2 main characters (Demetri and others are good but the main 2 are dull!)
At least SG Universe is going well and when I sneaked a peak to the first episode of V it looks anything but slow!

I only found out last week that they've redone V, I'm really looking forward to it.
The first time round I was at junior school and my Dad used to let me stay up late so I didn't miss it, my Mum wasn't impressed with him!
I missed this weeks as TV went stupid but OH bought me DVD for christmas so will watch it then!

Ooh, lucky you! I keep getting tempted by it on ebay but I know I'd sit there watching every episode in one sitting, not that I have an addictive personality lol
