Strange to see 'Saboo' in such a different role!

Discovered some new viewing pleasures online which I am saving for a particularly agreeable evening ...

Comic Strip - 30 Years (a new documentary available in your usual haunts )

Comic Strip - Five Go To Rehab (new episode! It's on YouTube, but don't let that stop you downloading it )

Charlie Brooker's 2012 Wipe (I can't get enough Charlie in my life either Bob)

No reviews but I imagine they are all ace

2012 Wipe was quite good. Saw it on iPlayer yesterday.

This was brilliant

Anyway, ITV have a new period drama, Mr Selfridge, about the chap from Chicago who came to London to set up the store. This was supposedly done before The Paradise, but the Beeb beat them to advertising so they held off on it till afterwards.

Seems to be getting good or better reviews too.

Do I want to watch "The Hour"? I've never seen it and i can't quite figure out what it is meant to be about.
Presumably I would want to go back and start at season 1.

I watched the first series and loved it. Yet to watch the 2nd. It's got some excellent actors -- Ben Wishaw, Dominic West and Romolo Garai.

Here's some info on the 2nd series to help you make up your mind:

A bit on the 1st series:

And yes, you need to watch the first series before you watch the second.

Thanks. I will take a look at it.

I started to watch the first episode when it was aired some time ago...but for some reason couldn't get into it. I think I will give it another try and report back.

I think you will like it

I've yet to see the second series too, way to many other things to catch up on.

THe Hour Season 2 on BBC America Seen the first three episodes on demand I think its excellent but my BH born here doesnt get it
If you lived in UK in 50s and 60s as I did then I think you will like it.
I also enjoyed season 1

Reading through the info in the links you posts...I think you are right.

Just starting a new 7th series....don't know if they're two parter stories though...

I think this is supposed to be the last series? Either way, it's fun seeing how home has changed

Obviously will have gone to the dogs.

Well there's now only 2 pubs rather than 5 in spitting distance of where I used to live...and the place is filled with those annoying traffic "calming" bollards, so there might be some truth to it

Saying that, the old manky driving test place is now a swish set of dorms for Brookes Uni and there's a huge mosque in the skyline too, so not all bad
