"Congratulations on your purchase. You have made an excellent choice."
That's an excellent strategy, but I'd honestly make an exception for the remaining 3 episodes.
There's nothing like seeing great TV as it's shown at the time, especially in an age where whole series are released in one go...
Since it's been a quiet week politically and there's little to speculate on Albion-wise, this should provide some much-needed escapism.

And for next week...
Episode 5: Curse of the Ninth
An Edwardian chiller...
I thought Reece and Steve might appreciate it. And I knew you'd pick up on it. :)
Yes, it's not a particularly pleasant thing to do, especially with two young girls running around now, is it?
After the heart-warming denouement of The Trolley Problem, it's that time of the week again.
Episode 3: Mulberry Close
The residents of Mulberry Close are keen to welcome their new neighbours at number 9, but there's something about Damon and Val that doesn't seem quite right.

What's coming up on the next 2 Wednesdays...
Episode 2: The Trolley Problem
Blake saves a man from leaping to his death from a bridge. The poor guy probably just needs someone to talk to. But is it a good idea to bring him back home?

Just booked 2 tickets for the Opening Night!
In the Grand Circle cheap seats, but at £25 each, very reasonable ticket prices for a Saturday night London show.
Don't worry, no spoilers from me afterwards. Well, at least for a day or two! ;)

We can chat about it in a day or two once everyone's had a chance to watch it. :)
With 4 days to go, here's a fun read from Joel Golby in today's Guardian.

Boo to a Goose
Late-night passengers get stuck in a tunnel when their train breaks down. Patiently, they wait for the replacement service until a nurse gets her purse stolen and tempers start to fray...
There's a minute clip of the episode available to watch...
A crumb of comfort is that they've stated that the possibility of future specials is open, similar to The League of Gentlemen.
It's not much, but it's something to hold on to.

Sorry, your thoughtful post slipped under my NSC browsing radar!
There were certainly a couple of episodes in Series 8 that I'll admit left me a little bemused at times. (Spoiler Alert) Specifically the last one tested the bounds of credibility - would a father really go through that deceit...
Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have played with the audience before. They appeared on The One Show promoting a 'live' Halloween special ('Dead Line') that would be shown as they'd had so much demand from viewers, even though they themselves didn't believe in ghosts. On the night, there...
