The former is likely to be towards the end of the year, the latter could arrive any day now.<br />I agree with TVsersity about Mad Men, but they can't broadcast it on BBC HD before it's been on BBC4 (stipulated by the BBC Trust). It was the same last year, too. I hope we don't wait too long for season 2 of True Blood on FX, but it probably won't be until C4 shows the first season which means next year :(Niallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917083363610144290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-8880987793562444842009-09-09T19:48:01.279+01:002009-09-09T19:48:01.279+01:00The BBC's excuse for delaying Mad Men is utter...The BBC's excuse for delaying Mad Men is utterly pathetic. BBC HD already shows a huge amount of repeats and total junk, so to say there is no room for what would have been by far the best show they could have aired, sounds extremely implausible. I suspect the truth is there was some financial reason to wait.<br /><br />With torrents of new shows only a click away, it shows just how clueless some TV networks still are to the reality of the world today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567879847679385471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-30719432846834808212009-09-09T17:09:21.849+01:002009-09-09T17:09:21.849+01:00Any update on Living HD or ITV HD.

It's airing now in the US which means either a) waiting for an unknown period of months/years to see if BBC can be bothered to show it, or b) pirating it.<br /><br />The TV studios really don't leave us much choice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567879847679385471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-77497605669976736722009-09-08T19:06:44.720+01:002009-09-08T19:06:44.720+01:00I was gutted about Survivors, I too got up to Epis...I was gutted about Survivors, I too got up to Episode 6 and then it stopped!!!mattbukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109272294544774044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-10782223181286056742009-09-08T07:45:31.836+01:002009-09-08T07:45:31.836+01:00According to this BBC Press Release, series 2 shou...According to this BBC Press Release, series 2 should be with us before the end of the year <a rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2008/12_december/22/survivors.shtml</a>Niallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917083363610144290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-7670275244258103722009-09-07T23:40:55.264+01:002009-09-07T23:40:55.264+01:00Does anybody know if "Survivors" will be...Does anybody know if "Survivors" will be coming back to BBC HD.
