Surprised there's so little interest on this board.


I've read a fair bit about this drama, and I'm getting pretty excited for it, as the BBC seem to be on a rather decent run for telly at the moment. For those who get The Times, there was a good, albeit melodramatic, interview with Dominic West, he mentioned this series a fair bit, inevitably compared it to Mad Men, yet the journo thinks it's far better; darker, drier and with a better plot.

I'm sure interest will pick up once The Shadow line has finished and the BBC start advertising The Hour, but there's a lot of interesting press out there, I can't wait for it. After Crimson Petal, I've grown far too fond of Romola Garai, too, so her role is an added bonus.

I'm excited for it too, mainly because I too am a little bit fond of Romola. Do you know when it starts by any chance? I heard May ages ago but it doesn't look like that now.

At the end of the Sunday Times interview with West, it simply said that it'll be on BBC2 in the summer. So, technically, that's one week away.

There's four more weeks of The Shadow Line left, so I'd bet that it'll be on in six weeks.
