I think we spread it over a week, averaging about 4 or 5 episodes a night. Just think of the things we could have been doing in that time! Cora was in bed by 7pm, I did a bit of work for an hour, and as each episode is 45 minutes long, 3 hours gave us 4 episodes-worth of suspense, excitement, anguish etc. It was a bit of a treat and meant that hubby had a bit of time out from work in the evening.

My wife and I are absolute fans but mean as well.
I saw the first two series when the BBC discovered the series then got left out when SKY muscled in.
Have since bought series 3 & 4 on DVD and last Sunday bought series 5.
I waited because I didn't want to pay over the odds. Just paid £24.00 in Tesco.
I did cheat a bit for series 5 by looking at the official website but I knew that it would spoil my enjoyment when I did get my hands on series 5.
I did the same thing on series 3 and it definitely did spoil my enjoyment.

My wife and I try to be disciplined so we only watch 2 episodes at a time.
First two gone and yes, it's fabulous.

I didn't realise series 6 was on its way. Anyway too soon to think about that.

I am now recording 'Life on Mars' as it clashes with 'CSI', and will watch in chunks.

Well I've now finished series five. Fantastic
I still don't know what my wife sees in Kiefer Sutherland.

For those who haven't seen it I won't mention the ending.
I been a good boy and kept away from the official website re series 6. What I didn't expect was an update on the current series in the Institute of Engineers official magazine. Too much info
That website is very tempting.

Seriously??????????????????????

Let me try to explain - well, he reminds me of his Dad (showing my age there), he's, um, er, gosh.

Sorry, no can do - I've come over all un-necessary and need to go and drink a large glass of water :roll:

Indeed, it is. I peeked for day five, and it gave a blow-by-blow account of each episode. However, given that so much happens in one 'hour', there is too much information to process and remember. I had a look at what was posted for day 6 after we'd seen day 5, but as it was yet to be screened in the USA there were only a few little titbits to keep me going. I won't let on!

Jack's back!! We're at 10pm on Day 6. So much excitement, and twisty double choc chip bluffing going on. It is for the Good of the country.
