    Does the Listener have a full TV/Radio anywhere on it's site?

    Also, see comments from Matt Sinnock above....

    So these are the highlights of the week that were published in print form in the listener a week or so ago, published daily on-line?

    Yes, they're the highlights that appear in the print mag, but I'm adding other stuff too - things that maybe weren't available when we went to print.

    It's a work in progress, so bear with us!

    That's a tricky one - apart from the fact that it would be a massive undertaking, the networks might not want us stealing their thunder. They want you to go to their website, after all.

  • Radiation: Lost on Internet Island,

    Is he still just as... clenchy?

    Not sure what that means. Seth Bullock always had a stick up his ass; that was the character, and his mate, the Jewish shopkeeper (who recently turned up in Lost as Dogan's (?) sidekick, btw) was always trying to get him to talk. He's an angry man in Justified, but not infallible. That's part of its charm; the criminals are often really stupid and there's a lot of black humour. It's the adaptation that Elmore Leonard actually approves of.

    characters doing incredibly stupid things out of the blue for no particular reason

    Which characters, Craig? I was totally along for that ride. Also, True Blood very funny.

  • Radiation: Lost on Internet Island,

    With the erratic number of "x many episodes to go" over the past six weeks or so, I was wondering if TVNZ were going to divide up the final into two parts.

    For us, there is only one more episode to go next Wednesday before the finale on Saturday May 29. TV2 is screening it over two and a half hours. In the US the penultimate episode has just screened, and their big finale is on Sunday.

    Wouldn't it be helpful if they overlaid the actual episode number around ad breaks - like "s5e12".

    Helpfully, TVNZ Ondemand includes the ep title.

    our VCR has stopped working..what to do?

    Seriously?

  • Radiation: Big bang theory,

    Breaking Bad was particularly awesome last night, especially the opening song, and as I'm not clever enough to embed a YouTube clip, here's the link.

    Also, the turtle! Holy crap! BB does tend to get people out of sticky situations with just some random luck (like Jesse and the drug addicts), but it pretty much emphasises the randomness of life. Like Walt getting lung cancer despite never having smoked in his life. No talk about fate or destiny or God here, nosiree.

  • Radiation: Big bang theory,

    Going waaay back to the beginning

    Let's not mention that they needed a real wheelie to perform the dance moves rather than the fake ex-boyband one. Murphy is a prize douche if he thinks that's helping.

    I thought it was a shame that Glee couldn't seem to find a singer in a wheelchair, unlike Breaking Bad, where RJ Mitte, who plays Walter Jr, really does have cerebral palsy. He's interviewed here. Breaking Bad is kinda awesome (tonight, C4), but it seems more dark this season that darkly comedic. Anyone see last week's squash-the-junkie ep? Ouch!
