Title: HBO's Pacific on Sky 3 Tonight!
Post by: clibinarium on 17 April 2010, 07:09:17 PM
Just a quick heads-up for UK residents with access to Sky 3. As part of a promotional weekend Sky 3 are showing the first two episodes of "The Pacific" for free from 9pm. i.e less than an hour from now.

I very nearly missed this so I thought I should spread the news.

I've read conflicting reports about how good (or not) it is. Personally I shall be watching Wallander, the cracking Swedish detective series (and it's not the Kenneth Brannagh version). If that wasn't on, I'd give it a look in though. Shame it never made it to the BBC as was originally planned >:(.

I still haven't found the time to watch this, it's sat on my Sky+ box.  I think Dave's interested as well, so I'll entice him round with beer and crisps...

:D

In the end I watched the first episode as Wallender was cancelled for some reason. To be honest, I found it rather disjointed and fairly average.

I can lurk on the doorstep if that's easier  ;)

To be fair though, after the day I've had at work the choice between driving a bazillion miles north & drinking a nice cold Chardonnay wasn't even a close call  :P

So I'll stay here & post nonsense on the forum if that's ok  ;D

She's actually still up, waiting for Auto Windscreens to come after some local knobs decided to kick our windscreen through.

Maybe you should move to the sticks - I hear it's nice in Somerset: might save on some postage costs too...  ;) :P 8)

Well we lived in the middle of nowhere in Cornwall for 3 years, it was 7 miles just to get milk and a paper.  When we moved back to Middlesbrough, we deliberately chose a village on the outskirts so we were away from the scumbags, and then lo and behold, they're here as well!  I was away in Sheffield for Triples on Saturday night, otherwise I'd probably have heard them do it.
