Marathoning is probably my favourite way to absorb a new show, even if it's a fairly slow marathon (two or three episodes a night) - I'm terrible at stopping a story if I'm loving it, and one of the most painful things for me is actually watching weekly episodes as I'm supposed to, particularly if there are strong…

I think marathoning League of Gentlemen might have been a good idea for me, actually - I tried watching a couple of episodes when they were on telly but it just took me too long each time to settle back into the weirdness and be comfortable there, that I lost about half of each episode to squirming and feeling I…

Yeah, this is a prime example of something not being a 'news update' just because it's in the Newswire section (which I'm assuming is why it got that label). I'm not that annoyed by notifications, honest, but it would be nice if they were truthful…

Same - I don't need too much chemistry (although I do think Neal and Sara have some), but I do need a character who doesn't have to be a plot in herself every time she shows up. Neal needs more people to just hang out with, not more shady antagonists.

@Kumagoro:disqus the thing is, although Neal is undoubtedly looking for a connection to his dad, openly both he and Peter are looking for who killed Ellen. Although that's not illegal in itself, given the proximity of Neal to the case I can completely see why Peter wants at least a watching brief.

I saw that live at the RSC. One of my best theatre-going experiences. (I also saw Gandalf as King Lear there the previous year. Good times…)
