I'm looking forward to Ripper Street. I think Mr Selfridge starts next week - and will clash with Ripper Street, sigh.

Tuesday night on ABC1 The Mystery of Edwin Drood is on Aussie TV

I shall be watching it. I don't know if it is any good? I tend to avoid Dickens on TV apart from Little Dorrit, which I enjoyed.

I quite enjoyed Ripper Street, basically a crime show in Victorian times. Not your usual cosy Sunday night drama though, quite visceral! Like the 3 leads though.

Yes, I enjoyed it. Jerome Flynn is in Game of Thrones, isn't he?

Yes he is, he seems to be making something of a comeback. And the guy who played Abberline will be in the next series of GofT (Clive Russell).

Just seen that World Without End starts in the UK next Saturday, on Channel 4.

Why are all the shows I want to watch playing in the wrong country, or on a channel I don't have?
