Painful thread. Very painful.

Why? my views seem to be much more in tune with the creators than with some posters who think it would be a huge hit if put on BBC4

So many particulars. So many questions.
'fuck the casual viewer, is that what a novelist wants? a casual reader? I'm letting the little fish go and hooking the people who want a real story told'

Hands off Lauren, she is MINE.
The Greek tragedy angle had been mentioned on one of the threads, there is a link somewhere to an article that is all about it.

The Wire would easily pull in as many viewers as The West Wing were it to be broadcast on BBC4 without ad breaks, at a decent time, on a decent day - say Sunday at 9pm (C4 fucked the WW over by moving the slot around, then not bothering to buy any of the later seasons because of inconsistent ratings...grrrrrrrrr). A series like this could easily bring in 750K-1mn viewer for BBC4 - and in a slot like Sunday at 9 that's a decent chunk of audience share.
It's a question of how much the rights to all 54 seasons would cost - and on how long Fox have the show for to run on FX etc etc. I reckon it will come to UK terrestrial at some point tho.

They (bbc4 that is) do have a record of putting on similar shows - Madmen worked quite well on there as well. They played that late on bbc2 and then prime time bbc4.

She insisted on interviewing Mr Simon in the most lame, gimmick ridden way possible. I'm surprised he went along with it tbh.
Would have much preferred it if Kermode did the questions.
She isn't that obnoxious, just terminally rubbish.

I agreee - it needed a heavyweight interviewer.
