Just watched the opener to this BBC/HBO production on-demand. Anyone else see it?
It's Brill!.. like an Iraqi Sopranos.
Can't wait for the next series...

Yes it is several(4 i think) episodes long.Great acting and a complete BASTARD being portrayed especially when killing his BEST mate!
Yes, watched it .pretty good stuff .better than all the other utter crap clogging up the schedules at the moment
Didn't realise this was a HBO production? Always a good sign.
Missed it but will catch up with it on replay, probably.
There's not really much good stuff on regular TV at the moment, is there? Has anyone seen "Should I lie to you?" (or whatever it's called). I think it's s'posed to be an updated "Call My Bluff" but it's 100 times worse. It's just shit. I can't believe that's on at peak viewing (tonight, 9pm'ish).
I see they've got a spin-off version of "Spooks" looming though! Looks like it's aimed at the yoof market.

That's the one with Angus Deayton? I quite like that! 
cAN you remind me that this is on WEDNESDAY at 9 pm BB2.Otherwise i will be going out and MISS it.BBC IPlayer is a BIT robotic.
Cheers Johnny-i was in ASDA when i got your TXT.Stayed in and watched this tonight.Bloody GREAT! 
Aye it was alright although they seem to rush through the first Gulf War a bit .
And when is Comical Ali going to make an appearance?

Last one WED 9pm BBC2-do the RIGHT thing J2S and send me a TXT!

He only made an appearance (I think), during the most recent Gulf War, which is the subject of the forthcoming episode, so if he's in it, he'll be in this one. Chemical Ali appeared in the first one briefly, doing his 'business' to traitors.
As for 'this series', I really wouldnt expect a second series, after tomorrows final instalment. Not unless Hollywood get hold of it.

It's really shite. All yoof and shagging and death of characters you have no time to find endearing. Very poo-er.
Sorry i didnt mean i expect a 2nd series when i said 'this series' .i should have said '4 part dramatisation' .Comical Ali will star tonight if he's gonna be in at all , aye
