Plus the supporting cast is brilliant. I'm especially a fan of Barry the money launderer and Seymour the arms dealer.

They have built a nice little world for the show over time. That's a large part of why it has stayed as fun as it has, for me; they haven't drastically shook things up for a long time, but the extra characters that have been added over time do give it a nice flavour.

Because I hadn't watched it in ages I decided to pop in my DVD of Ultraviolet (the old Channel 4 miniseries, not the dreadful film) and promptly gave a cry of "Holy shit! It's Stringer Bell!" as I had completely forgotten Idris Elba was in it.

Yes, I watched it a few years back and was disappointed - once again - that it didn't get a second series. Annoying really, because if it was being made now I'm pretty sure it would.
I'm mildly depressed this morning, because after watching six seasons of wonderfully, quirky brilliance, I finally came to the end of Northern Exposure last night. Whilst the last series did dip a bit in quality, I'm sad that I won't get to see the further antics of Ed, Chris, Maggie, Joel, Maurice, Holling, Shelly, Marilyn, Ruth-Ann, Walt, Bernard, Adam etc etc . . . |

It depresses me greatly that the woman who played Maggie is a raving Tea Party nutter. Women I fancy should all be lefties. I dread the day I discover Rachel Riley is a tory. I can cope with her being a Man Utd fan (they are to be her specialist subject on Celeb Mastermind), but if she is a tory, I might have to take her name off my list. |

My friend bullied me into watching series one of Miranda last week. I'm quite glad she did as it was very funny.

Rob Morrow was a jerk all the way through filming, by all accounts, it's the fantasy that I'm interested in. |

I've been watching the Beeb's latest adaptation of Tess of the D'Urbervilles. It was rather good (Gemma Arterton was fantastic), but I had no idea just how depressing the story was (that'll teach me for not reading it first). You could have filled a lake with how much I cried during those four hours.
