HBO's Pacific on Sky 3 Tonight!

[clibinarium]

Just a quick heads-up for UK residents with access to Sky 3. As part of a promotional weekend Sky 3 are showing the first two episodes of "The Pacific" for free from 9pm. i.e less than an hour from now.

I very nearly missed this so I thought I should spread the news.

I've read conflicting reports about how good (or not) it is. Personally I shall be watching Wallander, the cracking Swedish detective series (and it's not the Kenneth Brannagh version). If that wasn't on, I'd give it a look in though. Shame it never made it to the BBC as was originally planned .

I still haven't found the time to watch this, it's sat on my Sky+ box.  I think Dave's interested as well, so I'll entice him round with beer and crisps...

[Steve J]

In the end I watched the first episode as Wallender was cancelled for some reason. To be honest, I found it rather disjointed and fairly average.

Hang on then - average or not, if you've got beer & crisps I'm coming over as well...if I leave now I should get to you about 3am

You'll scare the crap out of the missus, cos I'll still be at work!

I can lurk on the doorstep if that's easier 

To be fair though, after the day I've had at work the choice between driving a bazillion miles north & drinking a nice cold Chardonnay wasn't even a close call 

So I'll stay here & post nonsense on the forum if that's ok

You go right ahead! 

She's actually still up, waiting for Auto Windscreens to come after some local knobs decided to kick our windscreen through.

That sucks...b'stards 

Maybe you should move to the sticks - I hear it's nice in Somerset: might save on some postage costs too...

Well we lived in the middle of nowhere in Cornwall for 3 years, it was 7 miles just to get milk and a paper.  When we moved back to Middlesbrough, we deliberately chose a village on the outskirts so we were away from the scumbags, and then lo and behold, they're here as well!  I was away in Sheffield for Triples on Saturday night, otherwise I'd probably have heard them do it.
