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
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.

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.

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? 

Orphan Black - Disc 5

Orphan Black retunred for a fifth (and final) series.

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.
