Game Of Thrones - Disc 8

None of the various H264 recordings would convert to .avi without big problems, so I had to go with smaller picture, lower quality .avi recordings.

Midsomer Murders - Disc 24

As posted here back on January 19

19 January Midsomer Murders Disc 24 post

Midsomer Murders returned back in late December / early January with four new episodes and it was noted that there were still two new episodes "in the can" yet to be aired.

There is still no word on when they will air in the UK, but they have aired in Australia. 

The Windsors

Channel 4 comedy The Windsors returned for a second series.

The Windsors

Nanny (now complete)

From perhaps the golden era of British TV drama, Nanny aired in the early 80's and took place from 1932 to 1941. Here in the US, this is the type of drama that would have aired on Masterpiece Theatre had it more than one hour a week available. Due to the format of the show, quite a few familiar faces appear in this. Series 1 has always been available here, but legal issues held up the release of Series 2 and 3 for nearly a decade. Not my rips or conversions.

The Family Law + Here Come The Habibs!

Some ethnic comedy from Australia.

Here Come the Habibs

I Know Who You Are

Sometimes the internet is just a wealth of misinformation. In Spain this was called Sé quién eres. In Spain this aired over the first four months of this year. It is a thriller. Some sources show that in Spain this was sixteen 70-minute episodes. In the UK it was aired as ten 70-minute episodes. So did the BBC edit out 38% of it? Who knows? None of these episodes displayed a title card of any kind. I read that this is based in Barcelona. In Barcelona the primary language is Catalan, so is the dialogue Catalan or Spanish? Who knows?

Count Arthur gets the ax

BBC has pulled the plug on Count Arthur Strong. They say it's due to low ratings, but I think we all know the real reason.

The Prince Of Denmark + The Ronnie Corbett Show

Ken has kindly shared the new release of The Prince of Denmark, the third show in the Ronnie Corbett / Rosemary Leach comedy trilogy that aired from 1967 to 1974. (The surviving episodes of the first, No, That's Me Over Here!, was posted here two years ago. The 14 episodes of the middle show, Now Look Here, survive and were planned for release but unfortunately legal hurdles could not be cleared and so it shall remain locked away in an archive.

Also on the disc is the 1987 Australian variety and comedy sketch show The Ronnie Corbett Show.

Janet King - Disc 3

Australian legal drama-thriller Janet King returned for a third series, the serial being titled Playing Advantage. At this time I have no idea what the title of the last episode is.

Mount Pleasant - Finale

Mount Pleasant returned for a final double episode. At some point I may see if I can recode the 10 Series 6 episodes so that this fits on that disc, but it may require a too low bit rate to fit the equivalent of 12 episodes on a single disc. In the meantime, here is the farewell of the popular comedy-drama which enjoyed a run that spanned about 6 years. 

Mount Pleasant

Broken + Redwater

Two new drama series. 

Broken is a Jimmy McGovern project starring Sean Bean, Adrian Dunbar, Anna Friel.

Broken
