I like the book as well, but I thought the end was boring. You could tell why he hadn't been able to finish it in the last few decades as he had no clue about a satisfactory ending.

The people making the TV series have already said they will not be using the book ending, which is a very good idea imho.

I think the programme is actually getting better the further they have moved away from the book storylines.

What am I going to when Dexter and Breaking Bad finish in a few weeks? There are some good shows on tv, but nothing that match those two.

Boardwalk Empire returns for its 4th season next month, my favourite show on TV currently.

the newsroom will be back by then

I got the first Blu-Ray of The Newsroom from LoveFilm the other day, hope it is as well scripted as the first 4 seasons of The West Wing that Aaron Sorkin penned.

Watched the first episode of Family Tree on BBC2 and thought it was quite funny in an understated way. So often you think 'ah great a new comedy' and then within 10 mins you know it's sh*t.

Bonus is it's full of Spurs fans including his dad sitting there in the 1982 Cup Final top (away yellow one!)

Free one week trial, no credit card needed.

It's a DNS setup thing which allows you to switch between countries where Netflix is available. For instance; I wanted to watch Kung Pow - Enter the Fist the other day, but couldn't find it in the US Netflix version/library. So I went to the unblock-us website and switched region to Norway and voilá, the movie was available. Different content for different Netflix regions, you see.

I also signed up for a US Netflix account rather than a Norwegian one. The US account is $5/month compared to $13/month for a Norwegian one. unblock-us is $5/month.
