    Interesting twist at the end.
    And series 3 sounds like it's going to be good.

    What happened as in "WTF was that I just watched" or as in "I missed it - WHAT HAPPENED?"

    Gene shot Drake, and she woke up and was informed she had recovered well, and she'd fought off the infection and bullet didn't penetrate. She saw Molly, then Gene came up on the monitor and told her she was in a coma and he was on the run because of shooting her.

    Muahahahaha, cheeky. :p

    I swear, if my theory ends up being correct, I expect... I dunno... something. :lol:

    I'm one of her majesty's loyal colonial subjects, so I have to wait to watch this.
    But hey, we pay for a governor general, so that's almost like paying a licensing fee, right? ;)

    No, sod off. Paying the licence fee is like paying the licence fee. :lol:

    So far this year I have watched a total of about 10 hours of broadcast TV, so Ashes to Ashes is running me about 14 quid an episode :(

    Well not as good as last weeks but still very good, and I'm really glad there's gonna be a third season. I was tired of Life on Mars by this point but, curiously, A2A still has legs as far as I'm concerned...and it isn't just because they're attacthced the Keeley Hawes' bum either...

    Classic bits. Ray and the sausage, Gene advising that the police only kill people in custody, the reveal about summers (which I'd kinda suspected but was still good) and Shaz's entrance at the end (though isn't that bad luck?)

    "You've been quattroed!"

    Almost triple the budget of Classic Who, so it should be. :lol:

    This all gives me an idea actually, you don't need a TV license if you don't have any TV tuning equipment, but you can still watch the BBC without tuning equipment via iplayer.

    Does this mean that if you get rid of your TV and just use a computer and stream all your TV that you can legally not have a license?

    Yes, so long as you only watch DVDs, non-live streams/downloads you don't need a licence. If you watch live streams of any TV, regardless of who the broadcaster is then you need it.
    They may try and close that loophole in the future though. They're talking about making the TV licence a Broadband Licence too, and using it to supply the 2mbps minimum internet connection nationwide...

    Interesting idea. I'd rather not have government provided broadband though to be honest :shifty:

    Wouldn't be the government, and likely it would be wireless. At the minute it's pretty theoretical. The Beeb have said they would rather give the excess back to licence fee payers, because a couple of hundred mill will not be enough to provide it in areas where BT, etc. refuse/are unable to.

    But I can understand where you're coming from... since you're a terrorist...;)

    He's just worried some MI5 person will leave his details on a train and we find out about how much and what type of porn he's been watching;)

    Good episode. When....

    Drake was shot, I wondered what way they'd go for the ending. Then when she woke up in hospital I was hoping there'd be a twist and was glad we got one - with the talk of a third season, an "unresolved" option looked very plausible, and I really don't want an "it was all a dream" ending.

    So unresolved it is! Is she in the 80's in a coma, or in 2009 and hallucinating/still dreaming? Like Starkers, I think AtA could quite easily go further than LoM did.

    Hey, my money helps fund Doctor Who... and I don't watch that at all... so, I call it a fair trade. ;)

    Unless you're buying Doctor Who DVDs and not watching them, then you're wrong, CBC doesn't co-produce it any more. :p
