i'm buying a digibox tomorrow for the simple reason that they are showing The Sopranos every night( at least in their week one schedule) will it be every season from the first episode, i wonder? if so i'm never going out again.

but when they say "new series" do they mean series 5? i didn't realise any channel in the UK had ever shown any of the previous seasons.

Apparently the episode of The Daily Show tomorrow night is the David Rakoff one from last Monday, so maybe More4 will be showing it on a week's delay rather than one day behind...

There seems to be lots on this channel I want to see, totally missed out on the Sopranos first time round so it's nice they're showing that. Not sure I can keep up with it being on every night though. Some interesting films and documentaries too and The Daily Show looks good.
Also tonights Blunkett drama looks like high farce from the trailers and Bernard Hill looks perfect. Robert Lindsay usually good in this kind of thing too, nice to see him away from My Family.

About a year ago. It wasn't very good. Quick summary.
*** DO NOT READ IF YOU HATE SPOILERS ****
They get a stupid comedy folksy Vice President (played by that bad mang from American Gothic), but turns out he's OK really. He poaches Will Bailey to go work for him, meaning that Toby is criminally underused as a comic character for much of the series. The old Vice Preznit causes a bit of bother, as does Danny Concannon, but it all goes away because the staffers are grebt. Abby goes on Sesame Street. Donna finds a new blokey, Josh gets a bit miffed, Donna gets blown up, she's OK, Josh goes to see her, empty hospital bed, woops, no, she's not OK again. End series.

15min into the big Bleasdale-alumni satirefest and I'm stuck in front of the PC sorting out tedious financial shenans. Good job everything is repeated. I wonder if Armando Iannucci is going to watch The Sopranos?

thx ailsa! if they showed it a year ago, though, that means they showed it *before* series 4 was on c4. so i feel hard-done-by.
i liked 'the daily show'.

I think they overlapped a bit (I saw series 4 on E4 too). Anyway, you didn't miss much. Get one download (or box-set - series 6 box-set is out already so I imagine series 5 may be quite cheaply available).
The thing that was on before The Sopranos with David Starkey and some sub-Chris-Evans-type host was horrible (I only caught five minutes of it and that was enough to convince me)

It's not on in the US this week because they're preparing for the new 'Colbert Report' show, which starts on Monday. Though not on More4.

the Tivo is also set up to flag things like 'Pressburger' and 'Lockwood' and 'Ealing' when they appear in anything on any channels i get, which is nice but not 100% accurate, plus i got bored of adding actors after the first half dozen.
radiotimes.com has good listing but you need to register for anything other than the main 5. itv.com will show you a channel at a time (which i used to check the above, but is rubbish for browsing)

The former is even better than I remember and the latter is the dictionary definition of Enjoyable Tosh With A Good Theme. The Persuaders is less enjoyable, toshier but with the best theme evah. Not a revolutionary opinion that, but one I'm happy to share with everyone else on the Earth.
Also: Robert V obviously secret dad of Kyle McL, yes?
