I hope timer on my new DVD recorder works as I am away for 3 weeks. I wonder if I should also set the VHS VCR on timer as well. Looks like a a very promising series.

Grazie,

Have you folks gotten Deadwood yet? Amazing western by David Milch who was famous in the states for NYPD Blue. It's about a Gold Rush boomtown in the Old West that is not US territory, not tribal territory. It was the first time I saw Ian McShane who is amazing in it.

If you've never heard of Ian McShane before, keep an eye out for the series "Lovejoy", about a likable rogue antiques dealer with a shady past in East Anglia. In the US it occasionally shows up on PBS stations. Well worth watching, and it has a superb supporting cast of odd-balls and misfits.
